Oh, he'd be a Lannister!

Jonah is ALWAYS - you'll notice - standing directly next to whomever has the most power.

Even when it comes to the underlings. You'll notice that whichever underling has the most power, he's standing next to them.

Like in the second season, Kent has a lot of power towards the beginning of the season, but as the season goes on, his power starts to wane, so Jonah starts hanging out with Ben Cafferty more (or ingratiating himself more).

So he'd definitely be a Lannister.

I grew up outside of Augusta, in a small town called Readfield.

And Maine is beautiful. But it's very quiet. So just enjoy the summer there. But if you are looking for something fun to do, go to Portland, and there are a lot of really good restaurants opening up there, and some good music venues (or there were at least when I was hanging out there).

And DEFINITELY go to Rockland, Maine, and visit my sister's bookstore, Hello Hello Books. It's a fantastic indie bookstore that my sister curates and she always makes really incredible recommendations just based off the things that you like.

SONOFABITCH, IS THAT YOU PANTS?!

Our editors are awful people. Our performances have nothing to do with their hard work.

Then she's succeeded mightily in that.

Because it's exactly how Jonah sees himself.

Let me think, is there a particular...I think that one of the things that I've built into the backstory is this idea that he was one of those kids that was told that he could do anything. That he was very special. And that he could ultimately be President. And in spite of all evidence to the contrary, he believes it. And coming from a wealthy, protected family. And so therefore, has been able to...fail upward.

That one was easy to keep a straight face on, because she had SO much anger directed towards me. A lot of the times, the things that make us break the most are the simplest. Like, it's less a line and more a very small look.

Like the smaller and smaller you make a moment, the harder it is to keep it together.

We did this scene where I was trying to describe what parts of a soldier's leg had been blown apart, and that whole scene, we couldn't keep it together, because it was mostly little things.
