The two actors talk about creating the mounting tension between their characters that boils over into the anthology series’ shocking finale.
The result is a frightfully contentious clash between Bartlett’s Armond and Lacy’s Shane, grounded in both actors’ carefully calibrated, consistently heightening tension that eventually boils over into one of the most shocking, satisfying TV finales of all time.
There’s tension the whole time, but you’re able to build it over the course of the episodes. How do you calibrate that arc so it’s not one-note?There was a calibration process that happened with Mike, where in my first scene — and I think this has happened to a couple of other actors — he got me to do it a million ways, because we’d never worked together. We’d barely spoken. It was COVID, and I thought I was just getting it all wrong and couldn’t give him what he wanted.
The big scenes between the two of you that come to mind are when Jake walks in on Armond having sex with Dillon , and then at the end — the stabbing, the poop. What was filming those scenes like?Where I walk in on Murray and Lukas engaged in various positions, various fun … That stuff gets so technical, both the comedy of it and the camera of it, and it’s so fulfilling to me to work out these small things.
We were supposed to [shoot] something else that day. I think someone had a COVID positive test [and production rescheduled this scene] early. Which was great, in a way. Not that I’ve ever had this experience before, but, like, you don’t overthink shitting in a suitcase.Because we were living where we work, it felt a little easier to go, “OK, we’ll do this now. It’s one floor away from where I live.
