In fact, one employee that season-two director Andrea Arnold told Smith to follow inspired much of Coreys character.
He was really obsessed with some otters, their genetic diseases based on inbreeding, weird stuff like that.
The weirdest things would just come out of his mouth.
Which is weird, but I think its ultimately really honest and sincere.
I was interested in what Arnolds direction was like, given that shes new to the show this season.
They said, Its Shailenes love interest, co-worker guy, on the second season ofBig Little Lies.
I have a weird thing when I start to really connect with something; my body tightens up.
It got me over my own nervousness and my own real-world shit.
The audition went well enough that Andrea wanted to Skype me pretty soon after.
We got on FaceTime and we talked and talked about a lot of things.
We talked about lots of music.
I think that speaks to her humanistic approach to filmmaking and storytelling.
In this weeks episode, Corey and Jane go out to dinner for the first time.
I think he has a fishery.
[Heruns an aquaculture business.]
On the date, Corey tries to kiss Jane and she pulls away.
Cory is a fixater, and thats why he fixates on the things he fixates on within the aquarium.
I think he kind of looks at her like a new fish, as weird as that may sound.
Maybe thats not everybodys experience.
Thats the experience thats pretty close to me, and it was already on the page with Corey.
Its a weird sort of thing, acting these things.
According to your Instagram,you surf a lot, like Corey.
I was talking to Jeffrey Nordling, the actor who plays Renatas husband.
All I was trying to do was not pass out from heatstroke.
I think its a really healing place.
When I saw the movieTullyand then heard NPR people talking about it.
There was a lot of stuff that was told to me through the writing and throughout the other episodes.
When I got the job, the day after, they sent me the first six scripts.
We almost made a film together six years ago.
B and L next to each other.
you might overthink, anyways.
It just makes you worse.
Dah, dah, dah.
I dont believe that.
I went to [the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art] for the summer to do a Shakespeare workshop.
He was really excited to tell me that the No.
[This is indeeda real thing.]
He didnt even think I would find that sad or really disturbing.
But yeah, the aquarium a beautiful place.
The jellyfish area is probably my favorite of the aquarium.
Its really dark and moody and blissful.
It kind of feels like you could make a Sigur Ros music video there or something.
