Fargo Actor Juno Temple Praised Jon Hamm After Doing An Emotional Scene With Him
During a recent interview with the reputed media outlet Variety, Juno Temple spoke about one of the most important scenes from the fifth season of Fargo. On being asked what was it like working with actor Jon Hamm, especially during the emotional scenes, the 34-year-old actor said-
“It was interesting because, for most of the shooting, we didn’t cross paths at all. On the days that he was working, I was not. That was also something that was important because my character is so desperately trying to not be found by him ever again. The first beat we shot together was the hospital where I woke up, and I so thought it was going to be Wayne, and then it wasn’t.”
She further added-
“That’s a really upsetting scene, but it was fantastic. He’s so brilliant. It’s hard to play the monster like that, and I mean that mentally, too. The days that we had that were really, really challenging, especially in the abattoir — that sequence — he was so respectful. It meant that we got to go to the difficult places we needed to go to because we felt safe.”
Juno Temple is quite popular for her performance in the reputed sports drama Ted Lasso. The British actor was nominated for the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards in the Supporting Actor category for the comedy series.
Juno Tiger Talks About Her Approach Behind The Character Of Dorothy In Fargo
Juno Temple’s Dorothy is a fiery and feisty character from Fargo. The actor was critically praised for her performance in the fifth season of the series. During an interview with Variety, the Killer Joe actor spoke about the drastic transformation of her character in Fargo. The actor said-
“It starts from the accent. I worked with an incredible dialect coach, Liz [Elizabeth Himelstein], who had worked on the movie of “Fargo” and each previous chapter of “Fargo” because the “Minnesota nice” starts with the accent. It’s a real thing. It’s a reaction to good, bad, ugly, beautiful, difficult, scary, exciting, and it may lead with the heart first — and that comes through with the accent.”
She further explained-
“That helps a lot of moments that would potentially be a lot darker if there wasn’t a “Minnesota niceness” going on, which I think you see at the very beginning with that scene between Lorraine and Dot where Dot shifts to a more standard American accent at the kitchen table. It makes for a very different kind of persona for a moment.”
While talking about her nickname in the show, the English actor said-
“She’s talked about as a tiger behind her back, and then when it starts becoming something that she gets to personify, we have that great moment where I’m in the burial hole. Danielle Hanson and Chris Glimsdale, who were my hair and makeup guardian angels, we came up with the idea to try and create a little bit of a tiger look with a slightly pinker nose, a little bit of a dirt stripe, and it was something that I was so excited about to have a sprinkling of an actual tiger coming out of the hole.”
Fargo is currently streaming on Hulu.
