We chat with GeorgeAndTammy stars jes_chastain & Michael Shannon about why country music icons George Jones and Tammy Wynette moved them, as well as how long they've wanted to work together again:
At long last, Jessica Chastain and Michael Shannon get to be a dynamic duo in George & Tammy. The limited series debuts simultaneously on Showtime and Paramount Network on December 4, and audiences will get to see Chastain play her second real-life Tammy in as many years. The Eyes of Tammy Faye gave the acclaimed actress her first Oscar win, while Shannon enchanted audiences on screens big and small with Nine Perfect Strangers and Bullet Train.
Jessica Chastain: I didn't ever imagine or seek out to play Tammy Wynette. I didn't grow up listening to her music, and I didn't really know much about her. Someone approached me in 2011, and I was like, "Yeah, sounds good. Let's do it!" Then I loved the script when I read it, and gosh, it was 10 years until this incarnation. I'm glad it took the time it did, because I've had a lot of time to study her and learn everything I could about her.
Michael Shannon: When Jessica, approached me about doing it, I didn't really know an awful lot about him. I had seen him on television when I was a kid, and I remembered his face, but I wasn't really that familiar with his music.
