We spoke w/ Domhnall Gleeson about society's obsession with serial killers and keeping Steve Carell chained up in 'The Patient.'
From show creators Joel Fields and Joe Weisberg , the FX psychological thriller series The Patient tells the story of a terrifying relationship between therapist and patient, when serial killer Sam Fortner kidnaps Alan Strauss to curb his homicidal urges and keep him from acting out on that overwhelming compulsive need.
When this came your way, what was the pitch? How was this described, and what was it about this that reeled you in? For some reason, just as a collective society, we seem to have this weird fascination with serial killers. We seem to want to try to understand them or find an explanation. After playing one, do you feel like you have any better understanding, or does it just reinforce that there is no way to understand exactly why somebody becomes that way?
I’ve heard from a lot of actors that they don’t really like eating in a scene because then they’re stuck eating, for however many takes that is. Did you do anything to avoid having to eat a lot? Was there any plan for getting him unlocked, if a natural disaster or anything happened during the shoot?
It makes it very traumatic. That’s why it’s stuck with me for so long, after watching it. You forget, so you almost feel sympathy for Sam, until you’re reminded that he rally is the bad guy that he’s telling everybody he actually is.
