Camille and Richard start off trading quips over drinks, and then move on to flirting over crime scenes.
Until, probably, its too late.
In Cherry, Richard continues digging into Camilles past.
It starts with a bit of loneliness and this woman has a real understanding of how this town works.
There is a bit of a manipulation on both of their parts.
Hes falling for her.
You worked with Amy Adams onJulie & Julia, and Id read that she broughtSharp Objectsto you.
Whats it like to work with her again?We had a great time onJulie & Julia.
We became fast friends, our families became friends, and I did love that acting with her.
I felt that she made me better and I learned a lot from her.
She called me and said, Have you read this book?
Jean Marc-Vallee didnt know who I was.
I came in and we read and Amy was that incredible supportive friend.
After every scene shed turn to Jean-Marc Vallee with a big smile like, Dont you like him?
She was a friend trying to get another friend a job.
I read that Amy brought afart machine onto the set.
The same thing with Patricia, I worked with her inVicky Cristina Barcelona.
She had like a five-page monologue, and I interject a few lines here or there.
Jean-Marc Vallee doesnt rehearse, theres no marks on the floor.
Its just an improv.
Then, she was extraordinary.
Ive read people talk about how Jean-Marc shoots with little rehearsal and blocking.
His specialty, I think, is to take the acting away from the actors.
Often when you do a lot of takes, you get in your head and you start to repeat.
Searching for results you got on an earlier take.
His way of working was like rehearsing on camera.
He loves what he does, and is extremely present in whats happening, and the images around him.
Like the fans the fans werent in the script.
He incorporated them into scenes.
Just another sharp object that he noticed.
Speaking of the heat, Richard is stuck in all of this dark police-wear and sweating a ton.
Was that at all enhanced?Most of the time, unfortunately, it doesnt need to be enhanced.
It was very warm.
But on the occasion when I wasnt sweating, there was someone squirting me down.
I like that about this show, to be honest with you.
Ive had strong, great women around me my whole life.
My mother, my grandmother, my sister, now my wife.
Ive been surrounded by great women and Ive learned a lot from all of them.
It was cool that Alan Ball was doing something different.
I wasnt your stereotypical Republican lawyer.
But if you do something halfway decent in Hollywood, it wants you to keep doing it.
So,Vicky Cristina BarcelonaandJulie & Julia…
I was a nice guy who, sometimes, the dick who maybe had a nice heart.
The nice guy who isnt the necessarily best thing in the world.Yeah, exactly.
Ben Affleck gave me a great opportunity inLive by Nightto play thisgangster.
Unfortunately, not that many people saw that film.
Is there another side of yourself that youd like to get onscreen?Anything complicated.
Anything thats not black or white.
I feel like Im just at the beginning, to be honest with you.
They were complicated characters.
But theres so much to see, you have to tie people down to see those films.
Its not just me.
Its everybody, and probably every profession.
Then we can go acoustic again.
But I want to plug in and get really loud.
On the acoustic-to-electric scale, where doesSharp Objectsfall?For me?
Yeah.Well, the show is electric.
I love the show.
I love the actors.
I love Jean Marc Vallee.
I love the writing.
Im dancing around the electricity and trying to understand it, if that makes any sense.
The amplifier is right in my ear, and so I feel it.
Its, like, pulsating through my body.
The electricity is hitting me.
Its not coming from me, but its hitting me, and I like the feeling.
