In an interview with Digital Trends, Mission: Impossible's SimonPegg and newcomer Hannah Khalique-Brown talk about their Peacock thriller TheUndeclaredWar.
War, what is it good for? Elaine Benes may think that’s an actual quote from Leo Tolstoy, but Edwin Starr’s protest anthem against the Vietnam War is just as good of a question to ask in 2022 as it was in 1970. Yet instead of guns and bombs, wars nowadays are fought by 1s and 0s as cyberattacks and sophisticated computer technology are now the weapons of choice between warring nations.
Your character, Danny, is pretty high up in the food chain at his job. How did you prepare for a role that called for a lot of technical knowledge? Hannah, Saara is an incredibly complex character who undergoes a lot of transformations throughout the show. How did you approach playing her? I like to work in a way where I really build up a human life that’s separate from mine. I have to build that memory, that life story, that history. I have to live those memories. I have to make sure that Saara is a real human being who has lived for 21 years in her life.
Pegg: I spoke to Peter at great length about Danny. He’d actually met people like him from GCHQ through research. We talked a lot about him and who he was and his relationship with the rest of the characters. Danny is very avuncular and normally quite a funny guy in normal circumstances. He’s probably very approachable.
Khalique-Brown: It was incredible. I couldn’t believe that one of my first acting jobs involved working with Simon and Mark. They’re both incredible actors who are very different. Simon has mostly been known for his comedy, but I think he blows everyone away with the nuance he brings to this performance. He’s such a kind, generous, lovely man, and he’s really funny on and off the screen.
