.billyeichner and CobieSmulders on playing Matt Drudge and Ann Coulter, side characters on 'Impeachment: American Crime Story' who’d love to control the narrative. A conversation with Olivianuzzi
Photo-Illustration: Vulture and Photos: Getty Images and FX The series Impeachment: American Crime Story is an embarrassment of riches for viewers obsessed with the camp political and media culture of the late 1990s. By viewers, I mean myself and my friends in the Washington press corps, with whom I improperly shared my FX login credentials. The show’s creator, Ryan Murphy, sold me on the details: Margo Martindale as Lucianne Goldberg, swilling a martini and rasping into a landline.
Cobie Smulders: Well, I had much more material to sift through than Billy did. Ann Coulter is a person who likes to put herself front and center in every debate. I think I listened to every one of her audio books that she read herself. Which was enlightening, to say the least. I hadn’t sought that out before — I tend to ignore it. The show did a really interesting job in terms of lacing her interview segments with actual scenes, like the ones I did with Billy.
If you don’t know that is how Matt Drudge actually speaks, you might think what I’m doing in the show is crazy. If you think it’s over the top — well, Drudge is over the top! He’s also not a cartoon character. He’s a three-dimensional human being who covers politics. Forgive me if I sound like a Martian asking about what you do. I don’t know how this works — I cover politics. How much do you have to be capable of empathizing with someone in order to play them?
BE: What’s interesting to me is that you can draw a direct line between Drudge and how everyone is now circulating their own version of the news on social media. Drudge was not part of the industry. He had no connections. He didn’t go to a fancy college; he didn’t go to journalism school.
