Moses Sumney landed the role of Izaak on TheIdol after auditioning for Elliot on Euphoria. “I auditioned kind of on a whim, and it weirdly went really well.'
and Levinson took over, combined with online backlash to the series’ use of nudity and portrayal of sex, have made it the most talked about show of the summer — for better and for worse.
Whenever you’re faced with how people see you, it’s always like, “Oh, is this my vibe?” I think he pieced it together, maybe, from my online presence, and then what he needed to serve the story. He described Izaak as “the sexiest guy in the room at all times,” which was so deeply flattering, because I’m not exactly the most swaggy person in real life. So it was really funny that whatever physical avatar I’ve built could be perceived as someone who was really suave.
And most importantly, I love that I get to be hot. Like, that’s fucking cool as fuck! I was a little alarmed when we got to costume the week before, and we’re trying on all these different shirts with Natasha [Newman-Thomas], our wonderful costume designer, and she’s like, “OK, the note I’m getting is less clothing.” And then it just evolved to no shirt at all.
I mean, look, the only thing I can really say about that is I wasn’t there the first time they shot the show, so I wasn’t privy to a lot of the things, including the reasoning provided in that article for why it was re-done. I don’t necessarily think that everything is true, but I’m more focused on the fact that a lot of people worked on this show. And the thing that’s interesting and beautiful about the cinematic arts, film and television, is that it really takes a village.
I don’t know, it was weird. It wasn’t bad, it’s just fucking strange, you know? The intimacy coordinator was very thorough about, “Is it OK to be touched here?” And that’s helpful going into a scene, knowing exactly what’s OK and what’s not. But I don’t think there’s anything that could ever make that feel like a normal experience. I saw the first two before they came out, right before we went to Cannes. After that, I’m with everybody else. I literally do not know what happens.
