Each director wants to prep with you in a different way, so I try to just be open to whatever’s going on and how much time you have to prepare and whether the director wants to sit down and walk through every scene with you, or doesn’t want to rehearse it, at all. And I also think that every job is different and every character requires a different sort of preparation. And then, there are some jobs where I feel really warmed up and I just roll into it and don’t second-guess myself. I’ve found that with some characters, you really need a lot of preparation and you want to do a lot of research, go through each moment and each scene, and do your backstory, and be a really good acting student, and that can be really, really helpful. HEWSON: It’s interesting, I’m still questioning that and trying to figure out what my approach is. The more acting roles that you tackle, do you feel that you’ve come to trust your own instincts more when it comes to the characters that you’re playing, or is that something you’ve always done? I was trying to play it cool.Ī character like Adele has so many interesting layers to her. I just remember being in awe of what was going on and just tried to not show that I was really excited to be there. It was just so incredible, this big almost fantasy-like way to shoot a film. It was weird because I went from Soderbergh, who is the camera operator and edits everything himself and it’s a very indie approach, to doing a three-camera set-up on this big Hollywood production where Spielberg was directing with a megaphone.

I was so obsessed with that movie that it was a true dream come true.
When I was younger, I cut off all of my hair and called myself Elliott. What was it like to work with someone like Steven Spielberg so early in your career?

I couldn’t think of a better job, honestly, to be introduced to all of that. It just felt like a really beautiful way to enter into the film/TV stratosphere. I’m too scared.” And they would call me up and give me a little pep talk. I remember having scenes and going, “Oh, my god, I don’t know what to do. Juliet and Cara were like older sisters to me, and all of the boys were like my older brothers. I just remember feeling really looked out for by the cast. That was my first job coming out of Tisch and I was totally the baby on set. HEWSON: Working with Soderbergh, and Michael and Jack, the writers, and the cast. What are the memories about that show that stand out the most for you? It’s a fantastic show and everybody was fantastic in it. I really, really cherish that relationship. I was not shamed by the things that I wanted to do. It was so important to have him there and to feel encouraged by him. I couldn’t imagine doing this part without him. That just allowed us to explore the character in many different ways and to try new things and come up with the craziest things to do, just for fun and to see if we could do it. He almost knew what I wanted to do before I did. We just had this secondhand, where I felt like he was reading my mind. Erik and I were on the same page, I felt like I didn’t have to explain to him what I wanted to do and I didn’t have to perform it for him. I’ve only had one other relationship like that with a director, and that was when I did The Knick with Soderbergh, where we really just understood each other. He just has elements of bringing in the strange, bizarre, silly element to it. I think he’s going to be a huge director. Thank God we shot it with Erik because I really believe in him. You do it like a movie, by location, so we had to shoot it with one director.

HEWSON: The way that they shoot limited series now, you don’t really shoot episodically.
