I find drinking really helps.
Everyone was completely open and honest about the fact the show wasn't where it should have gotten, but I can tell you that after the critics' night, that cast pulled themselves together. They started to deliver that play in a way that I think audiences saw a much better production than those critics saw.
It's the details and the human element that makes 'Recount' entertaining. Even though we know how the election ends, it plays like a thriller. It's also funny.
The journey that we go on as actors is an interesting one and sometimes a revealing one.
It's one of those films that kind of defies the 10-second blurb,
My admiration for 'Mary Tyler Moore' is very, very big because they went out on top.

I'm attracted to things that are challenging and fun and interesting, and it certainly seems that audiences enjoy them as well.
There's something really incredible about watching what someone else does with a role that we know.

It's like strapping yourself to a locomotive, and I love it.
I think that what is truly unfortunate is when an entire party makes a decision that they're going to block every single thing that a president wants to accomplish. It's very - it's very hard to get anything done in those circumstances.
Francis Underwood was entirely based on Richard III. When Michael Dobbs wrote 'House of Cards' in the original British series, Richard III is what he based the character on.
