We spoke w/ Naveen Andrews about TheDropoutHulu, working with Amanda Seyfried, the Shakespearean quality of the story, and more.
Executive produced by showrunner Elizabeth Meriwether, the Hulu original series The Dropout tells the story of Elizabeth Holmes , Theranos, and the deception that pulled the curtain back on the world’s youngest self-made female billionaire to reveal the fraud of it all.
RELATED: 'The Dropout' Showrunner Elizabeth Meriweather on Presenting a Story Without Judgment and Focusing on Emotional Truth ANDREWS: If I remember correctly when Bill’s character says that, it’s almost tossed out. At least, that’s what I read into it. Even he was somewhat perplexed, at least, at how this could possibly happen. To me, it was almost like he was being deliberately trite. Obviously, there’s a lot more to it. There’s a great deal more depth to it than that.
ANDREWS: Yes, it was a little odd, to say the least, in the sense that it was almost like the play within the play. We’d be on set shooting a scene, and then you’d have a break and we’d rush over to find out what was going on in the trial. That was a unique position to be in. ANDREWS: I think he was completely and utterly besotted with her. In my opinion, he might still be. That’s just my opinion. There’s a romantic aspect of the story, in the sense of, how far are you prepared to go, if you love someone? What are you willing to do for love? As we all know, that clouds one’s judgment, to some degree.
ANDREWS: The way I saw it, and Amanda [Seyfried] and I shared this thought, the relationship was fundamentally unbalanced. There are plenty of examples of that, throughout the piece. And if there is that imbalance, you see some toxic behaviors that either partner might use to undermine the other, which is interesting.
ANDREWS: It was a privilege to watch because you’d see it slowly come together in rehearsal. We were lucky enough to shoot some of the scenes in Beijing early on, and Elizabeth hasn’t developed that persona yet, in terms of the voice and the look. I remember Amanda walking up to me, when we weren’t shooting. I was in a break in the middle of a scene that I was shooting, and she had just come to the set, and she walked up to me, dressed in black with the lipstick.
