.BradleyWhitford on his dark, Emmy-winning TheHandmaidsTale role, and why ‘West Wing’ was “progressive porn” | TheActorsSide with DeadlinePete
“I always joke that my movie career is basically–I play the guy you don’t want to get laid.” That was just one of a series of observations Bradley Whitford shared with me when he appeared for this week’s episode of my Deadline video series The Actor’s Side. That movie career by the way has been active of late. Recent films in which he has appeared,received Best Picture Oscar nominations, and he wasn’t exactly the guy you root for in either one. He’s faced off against Godzilla too.
But his first love for this Julliard-trained actor was the stage, and as he tells me that once it is in your system, you can’t let it go. However, it is probably television where Whitford has had his greatest success. That is, if you consider winning three Emmys for three different roles a measure of success — and I certainly do.
Whitford tells me where he got the inspiration for Lawrence, and also notes that maybe he had a real advantage for that guest-star Emmy as voting was going on just as he became a regular on the series and was heavily featured in new episodes. Nevertheless, he laughs, he was willing to “take it.” We talk about the evolution of his character and the series as it goes forward.
Unfortunately, before the COVID-19 shutdown they were just into a new episode that marks the debut behind the camera of series star Elisabeth Moss, and we talk about her in detail as well since their on-screen relationship goes all the way back toAnd speaking of that iconic NBC series, Whitford notes it still has a rabid fan base, and he hears from them often. In this political climate, he says, it is not surprising as he describes the show as “reassuring political porn.
We also talk about the dark corners many of his characters come out of including a recent comedy seriesFrom the first moment in the sixth grade when he discovered the joys of acting, up to right now during a pandemic when he is just itching to get back to it, Whitford is unabashedly dedicated to his profession.
