Warning: This story contains spoilers for season one ofThe Politician.
Glees Quinn Fabray (Dianna Agron).Scream Queens Chanel Oberlin (Emma Roberts).
I was very obviously very much aware of that work before.
Netflix
And, then it kind of lived up to every expectation and exceeded it tremendously.
Its a much more complex character.
It is just heaven to complement each other in those ways to feel very liberated.
Being the Ice Queen while having so much meat to that role.
Did you practice Astrids death glare?
It sounded likeBen Plattreally prioritized you all bonding before shooting started.Yes.
The costumes and styling on this show are so incredible.
Did you have input on Astrids look?Yes.
I was so taken aback by it and just so head over heels for it.
And, it was such an intelligent dissection of what Astrid wants herself to be perceived as.
Her clothing very much represents that.
Its all very important and specific.
Why do you think she hates Payton so much?
She doesnt understand why people are willing to invest.
So, its kind of a projected anger.
I think its this resentment of him trying to claim any part of River.
She doesnt know how to grieve.
She doesnt know how to deal with the loss of him.
And, then the kind of sharing of him in that.
And, so I think that definitely feeds into that relationship with Payton.
You get to play tennis against Dylan McDermott, who plays Astrids father.
Its a CGI tennis ball?
!It is a CGI ball.
Great form cant get the ball.
Astrid seems so lost throughout this series.
At one point, she even fakes her own kidnapping to go to New York.
And, so it was easier to just accept that than think for herself.
And, then she goes back.
However, it is Astrid so we never really know where we stand with her.
Youve had such a huge year betweenThe PoliticianandBohemian Rhapsody.
What has it been like?Its been a lot of fun.
But, you dont extend your thoughts to what it could be and how far it could reach.
I still havent found a way to describe it.
So, hopefully, eventually, well cross paths again.
