We spoke w/ Timothy Olyphant about daisyjonesand6 and how much he dug his wardrobe.
[Editor’s note: The following contains some spoilers for Daisy Jones & The Six.]Based on the best-selling novel of the same name from Taylor Jenkins Reid, the Amazon Studios/Hello Sunshine series Daisy Jones & The Six tells the story of the meteoric rise and crash-and-burn implosion of the iconic 1970s band, fronted by Daisy Jones and Billy Dunne .
TIMOTHY OLYPHANT: The book, for me, was just a great read. Even before getting all the scripts, it was just a cool book. It’s always nice when you read some material that’s really great, and then you think, “Oh, I might be able to be fit into this somehow.” After that, you let go of it, other than what you’ve sourced already, and it becomes a bit of a jumping off point. The nature of an adaptation means that you’re taking it in its own direction. I did read about a lot of tour managers.
Are you, personally, a music guy? Are you someone who has a connection to music, yourself? Are there bands that you’re a fan of, that you’ve been curious about the personal story of? OLYPHANT: Well, it’s a good job. If that’s what you do for a living and if you can hook a big fish that’s gonna carry you for a while, that’s pretty huge. You’re so dependent on the band’s success to maintain your job, to be part of that family, and to not have to keep looking for other bands. Even in the show, it’s such a sought after gig. This band is blowing up, and he’s pretty sure that there’s not gonna be any band that’s that successful, that’s gonna be easy.
There’s a moment when your character is getting increasingly frustrated with the band’s antics because he knows it just makes his job harder. And then, Daisy asks him to picture how boring his life would be without her in it. Do you think that’s part of the appeal for him? Obviously, there’s the love of the music, but is being in it appealing to him, as well?
OLYPHANT: Yeah. Somewhere along the line, I remember having a good talking with myself about, “Hey, this is what you signed up for. You knew it. There must have been something about that very thing you’re complaining about, that was so appealing to begin with.” You can’t have it both ways.
