Does that parallel shape how you play the part? At the same time he’s fighting the KGB about dragging his teenage daughter into the spy life, he’s doing the exact same thing to some other spy’s teenage daughter. Jim and Kimmy’s relationship is a mirror image of what’s going on between Philip and Paige. People are so wrapped around … well, not wrapped around themselves, but every five minutes, something new happens in life, and they’re preoccupied by the next thing that happens. It is so basic, but at the same time, it’s complicated because a lot of people don’t understand that it’s so important. It’s creepy, because it’s such a basic human need.

The whole time Kimmy’s trying to get together with this older man, we’re screaming “Noooooo!” It’s up to you to get us to sympathize with what we recognize as a terrible idea. Your character’s desires are 180 degrees away from the audience’s. We asked actor Julia Garner ( Martha Marcy May Marlene) how it feels to play this pivotal part.
