Ted Lasso's James Lance: Trent Crimm was 'happy to pull the pin' on his career

subjectifymedia:

That’s the thing as well, because I was like A) even if the repercussions had not happened in the next episode, it’s a show about people making good emotional choices when it counts to me in a lot of ways and here, the ethics of journalism versus the ethics of a human being, but then B) everyone was like “You would never do that, you would get fired,” and then the next episode you see well, yeah he did. It’s like “They know, guys.”

He was happy. He was happy to pull the plug, or pull the pin I should say. I think he knew he was going to pull the pin. I mean it’s interesting because he runs the story, you know, the story is run and that’s kind of the last piece of journalism he’s going to be doing on that level and I think that he just thought well. As you say, it was his personal ethics that were more important. And I think Trent has been in that press room — he’s been bored in these press rooms for a long time, he’s got other stuff that he wants to be thinking about. - James Lance



Anthony Head on punching up 'The Canterville Ghost' with special effects and Shakespeare - Subjectify Media

subjectifymedia:

“One of the things that I love about Ted Lasso is again, it’s one of those shows that has the initial premise, the initial thing of “Well it’s a joke!” An American football coach has been brought over to Europe and England and you’re like “meh, eh, yeah, okay” and then you read the script and you think “Oh actually, this is quite interesting,” and then on set it would just massively grow.

Because Jason Sudeikis he’d be – I mean the writing team were all, they’d be sitting in the green room writing bits and pieces then Jason would be getting sides down, new rewrites literally 10 minutes before doing the scene, because it’s so important to them, to them all. You can feel the drive, the passion, and I love that.” - Anthony Head



James Lance on Oscar Wilde's heroism and the culture clash that 'Ted Lasso' and 'The Canterville Ghost' have in common

subjectifymedia:

It wasn’t until I saw you for four hours as Hiram that I realized just how much you are doing as Trent — even though I think he’s genuinely one of the best characters on Ted Lasso, beloved by so many people. But just in terms of how you look at Jason [Sudeikis] like he is the most fascinating thing that you have ever seen in your life. Trent just seems so curious, constantly like “Hmmm!” about this guy. Was that planned? What’s happening there?

I think a lot is actually happening there and that’s really funny to hear you say that, that you pick up on that and and if other people are picking up on that. - James Lance



'The Canterville Ghost' star Anthony Head sometimes doesn't recognize himself on 'Ted Lasso,' and he likes it that way - Subjectify Media

subjectifymedia:

Do you think he’s self-aware of his cruelty – do you think he knows that he’s as bad as he is?

“I don’t know. It’s difficult to know. As I said, there are people out there who kill people, they are accused of killing people purely for their own kind of gratification. Do they feel better about themselves? I don’t know. Are they getting up in the morning saying “Hmm, who shall I kill today” I don’t know! I cannot imagine what that would feel like.

Rupert isn’t that. I guess in his head, in Rupert’s head, she’s done him down. She actually did. The one thing that he loved was the football club – not the only thing, but it was very special to him, and she somehow managed to manipulate it so that’s what she got from him and her wanting to destroy the club… So yeah, he would enjoy making her suffer in any way because she’s no longer on his radar, she’s no longer anything that he loves so therefore he will be very happy to destroy her.” - Anthony Head



'The Canterville Ghost' star James Lance talks Wilde, Wodehouse and learning Ted Lasso’s secret from Jason Sudeikis

subjectifymedia:

“I was aware of that because I had a conversation with Jason — I was talking to him about Trent Crimm’s background and I said that I felt that he had a really hard, really tough father and I just kept hearing this phrase that is that in my mind that Trent’s father used to say to him, which was “Are you a man or a mouse?” And he couldn’t live up to the sort of physical prowess and everything that his father wanted him to be, on a physical, masculine level, so Trent went to the library and kind of put on his intellectual armor and that was his vehicle, and that’s how he gets through.“ - James Lance
