That was the great thing about being on The West Wing: everyone was firing on all cylinders on every level of the creative team. There was all this help. You have more fun working that way. I remember we were blocking the Oval Office scene, and Martin Sheen came in and sat down. The director Bill Johnson said, “Do you wanna sit down, too?” I said, “How about if I don’t? What if I don’t sit down?” It seemed a little bit more imperious, it was more don’t-do-whatever-the-President-did. The rehearsal stopped, and calls were made, like, “What if Oliver doesn’t sit down?!” They had a conference right there on the stage. Then they came and said, “Hey, guess what?! Don’t sit down! Don’t sit down!” It made me feel really… it sort of confirmed this idea that this is a really interesting character to play through the filter of this particular show. - Oliver Platt
We may be a few episodes into Fargo season 3, but there’s a surprise addition to the cast that hasn’t yet been announced.
Battlestar Galactica veteran and Major Crimes star Mary McDonnell has booked a guest arc on the FX drama.
She plays “the so-called storage queen of The Great Lakes region, Ruby Goldfarb, who offers Emmit Stussy (Ewan McGregor) a way out of the mess he’s in.”
“We all love the show, but when you get the scripts and see the specificity of [showrunner Noah Hawley’s] work, he has this way of being simultaneously real and practical and mysterious at the same time,” McDonnell tells EW. “I feel so lucky. I’ve been in outer space [in Battlestar] and worked for the LAPD [in Major Crimes] and now been out in the prairie. And in each instance, you can’t believe how specific the world is. Everything in Fargo resonates with me in terms of the type of America this is — how the people speak, what their lifestyles are like, how they interact with dilemmas. It’s all regional and absolutely specific to that world.”
McDonnell first appears in the fifth episode, “The House of Special Purpose,” which airs May 17.
I support sex workers the same way I support Wal-Mart employees: I hate the industry but support the people who work for it regardless of how they got there
cant believe this post blew up again, but without the negative comments this time. nice.
Why does “you get what you pay for” only apply to consumers and not employers?
Why do employers offering minimum wage expect dedicated, hard working, knowledgeable, experienced employees instead of just someone who shows up and does the job?
If you’re only willing to pay the minimum, you should only expect to get the minimum.
