I'd love to play that character. Red Dead is a fantastic game. It's interesting because I didn't really have too much of an opportunity to get that heavily invested in the gaming culture... when I did get the rare opportunity, Red Dead was certainly one of the games that spoke to me.
"[Bias] is that thing that stops you being regarded as a person and makes you something smaller. With my accent, I've had that experience where I'm suddenly no longer a person with infinite possibilities and potential - I am 'that Scottish person'. I'm reduced to a noise that comes out of my mouth."
But he turned it down because he said the character had no backbone. He doesn't stand for anything. And he was right. Many drafts later, Bob finally agreed to do it. He was a brilliant, subtle actor. And we had a wonderful time playing off each other. Because we never quite knew what the other one was going to do in a scene.
I feel incredibly grateful for this kind attention, but to be clear, I also am quite humbled. I'm in a room of actors, many of whom are here because they've been nominated to receive a prize for their amazing work, while I'm here to receive a prize for being alive.
Kyle MacLachlan (Washington, 66 years old) is not used to contemplating the apocalypse. It's enough to make it to the end of the day, the actor jokes from his Los Angeles home. In one hand, he holds a cup of black coffee a la Agent Cooper from Twin Peaks, and in the other, a fistful of nuts. I'm going to eat breakfast while we talk, he warns, with his habitual blend of amiability and oddity.

It wasn't about the person. It was about me. It was so scary. I didn't know then how to go, 'Hey, can I talk to you privately?' Now, I would want to believe that I could have taken this person aside," she argued. "A lot of people say that we've become too woke, but I think, no, it's great. The pendulum needs to swing to the other side so that we can find a balance in between.
The Welsh-born actor had spent much of the decade living in the United States, where he split his time between the stage and the screen, building an utterly respectable career. He had played a compassionate doctor in David Lynch's The Elephant Man, a murderous ventriloquist in the cult thriller Magic, and the real-life convicted child murderer Bruno Hauptmann in the TV movie The Lindbergh Kidnapping Case, for which he had won his first Emmy.
"No, I don't indulge people like you doing crazy s***," Nolan replied. Citing a specific example, he recalled the time Chalamet, now 30, was filming the scene in which his character records messages from home for his father in space. "There was a particular thing where you were hitting a dark tone," the Inception director remembered. "It felt too much for me. I didn't particularly like it."
