Rufus Sewell talks about exploring a complicated marriage on TheDiplomat, the messiness of the characters, his hope for a Season 2, and more.
[Editor's note: The following contains some spoilers for The Diplomat.]From creator Debora Cahn , the Netflix original series The Diplomat follows Kate Wyler , the new US Ambassador to the United Kingdom, who’d rather be diffusing an international crisis than forging long-term relationships, but bigger powers have bigger plans for her.
RUFUS SEWELL: It was not the world so much. It was the messiness. It’s not that I’m not interested in that world, but if it had just been that world, I’d have thought, “Oh, I’ll watch a documentary about that.” So, it was that world populated by real messy, trash-talking, witty people who want to get through their day, as Deb [Cahn] says, spill coffee on themselves, and forget to take the tag off their clothes.
SEWELL: No, I think we were lucky enough that what you see is basically just what was there. It was based on my personal reaction to the script, and Keri’s personal reaction to the script. We did a little rehearsing, We sat and talked through it with Deb. We had conversations. But the first time we read any of the scenes, the relationship was pretty much there. We basically responded in a way that just made sense when it came together.
SEWELL: There were stunt people that we didn’t really use. We worked it out. You work it out, so that no one actually gets hurt. If it’s not worked out, it makes you very inhibited. You have to know what you’re doing, so you can have freedom. Someone just saying, “Go for it,” means that you pull your punches, which she did not. It was a riot. We had so much fun doing that because it’s such a funny scene. We enjoyed doing it.
