: From the very first episode, we were into that story of the massacre in Oklahoma, and the way that it was very descriptive and detailed, and leaned into that history in a way I hadn’t seen before, I knew it was doing something special.I got each story one at a time, and as the scripts continued to come in and unfold, I saw the way they were writing this story about heroes, about the often untold side of American history.
I went in and started to do my research. Then, I get to the episode where I get to flex a little bit more, and I find out that, “Oh, I’m not playing two characters. I’m actually playing four.” I’m playing three different versions of Dr. Manhattan, and Cal, as well. So, I made it my mission to make him a godlike figure, but to have him be someone who was also accessible, and who also had a desire to be human. I tried to imbue him with patience, and understanding, and a lot of love, but then also make him a bit distant, as well. Because if you’re a god, there’s some things he just couldn’t afford to relate to.
DEADLINE: In Episode 8, “A God Walks into Abar,” you shared a 16-page dialogue scene with King, as Dr. Manhattan. That must have been pretty challenging to tackle.: It is, but at the same time, that’s the job. I look at something like that, and by the time I get to that episode, I’m licking my chops for something like 16 pages. The humorous part about that is that I get to it, and there’s all this dialogue, and then I’m wearing a mask.
DEADLINE: As demonstrated in that episode, Doctor Manhattan experiences all of time simultaneously. Was it difficult to grapple with the structure, and the temporality of this piece?: I think it would have been challenging, had Damon and [director] Nikki [Kassell] not really coached me through that. I think the theme of that episode goes back to the theme of Doctor Manhattan, as I approached him as an actor, and that was, I can’t do two things at one time.
