Is this years slate of Emmy nominations a game ofBoar on the Floor?
Most of the core cast received nominations as well (except for Connor, because life imitates art).
Congratulations on your first Emmy nomination!
The traffics a bit lighter.
Its very strange to walk around.
And then as soon as you get out to where people live, then its sort of okay.
Masks are mandatory now, so everyones wearing them.
People seem quite cheerful.
Its a strange thing, isnt it?
And so everything ground to a halt, and were just waiting.
Its an evolving situation, so its difficult.
But were hoping to start later this year.
So its a waiting game, I suppose.
Especially for a show likeSuccession, with so many different locations and production moving around.Yeah.
It would be a shame to be stuck in one location or in a studio.
But Im impatient to start.
Im looking forward to starting again.
Hes always in flux.
I think hes gotten a bit braver with Shiv.
I think theres only so much he can put up with.
I think hes lost.
Im fascinated to know where hell go.
But your description of Tom is perfect.
His status changes all the time.
It changes all the time.
So just from an acting point of view, its heaven.
Because I can do all kinds of different stuff.
You go from brown-nosing Logan to throwing shit at Greg.Precisely.
You mentioned drama school, and training.
If we survive, it will be like a period piece.
This is how the 0.1 percent lived.
Societys norms are different.
People wear different clothes.
Or the lack of love.
[OnSuccession,] its very Greek.
Everyones sort of orbiting around Logan, the King, the Emperor.
I think its very important to get the economy going, and coronavirus will just go away.
Itll just magically disappear, hopefully.
In the season finale,Shiv is reading Sally RooneysConversations with Friends.
Do you think Tom read it?I think he tried to read it, yeah.
Toms not a halfwit.
I mean, I dont think he would get on with Sally Rooney, particularly.
I think he probably likes spy stories.
I think he secretly likes Robert Ludlum, and stuff like that.
Kind of twisty thrillers.
But I dont know whether hes relaxed enough to sit and read.
I like that you made it clear that you dont think Toms a halfwit.
I mean, I said that the other week on a Zoom thing withJesse[Armstrong].
Jesse was like, Really?
And I said, Yeah!
His parents are nice!
We met his parents at the end of season one, and theyre good folk.
So you really let Toms Midwestern decency come through, even if Jesse doesnt write it in.
Im guessing it will be some kind of virtual ceremony?I think everyones secretly thrilled about that.
