A multifaceted FX drama looking at three segments of society in ‘80s New York, including the world of ball culture, Pose was a challenging project to cast, in the sense that it was going where no T…
—one of the creator’s first original series for Netflix—Fogel spoke with Deadline about that series, the status ofHow did you get involved with, having never before worked with Ryan Murphy? What made the project an exciting one to take on?
I think you’ve seen the major discoveries because they’re on the show. [laughs] Some people were recommended to me by people in the ball community, and there was one person who was actually recommended to me by somebody in my office. We had a couple of ambassadors who were really generous with their time in the ball community who gave me a lot of information, gave me a lot of places to go, and some people would just recommend people to me.
In terms of big names, you also had Sandra Bernhard, Trudie Styler and Christopher Meloni amongst the cast. Were these artists that you had a prior relationship with?, so I have an old relationship with him, and I also know that he is up for anything. I mean, he’s just completely game. So, I did think of him right away for that role [of Dick Ford]. Ryan, I think, had a relationship with Sandra, and Trudie, I just thought of for the part and suggested it to Ryan, and he liked the idea.
I just loved the idea of him playing that role and sort of against the way that we often think of him. I thought he was so great in the part, and Ryan sort of saw that as well when we talked about it. James is such an incredibly wonderful spirit, and again, was sort of up for anything. So, sometimes it’s about that. It’s about seeing that actors have other muscles than the ones that you’ve seen before, and letting them surprise people.The show has been a blast to cast.
