Strong refuses to apologize for intensity
Jeremy Strong told host David Remnick he does not feel the need to apologize to co-stars who might think he is taking the process too seriously. The actor stated that his intention is never to interfere with anyone else's experience or way of working on set. He emphasized that committing utterly to serving the material is the only goal he pursues during filming.
Actor cites service to the script
Strong explained that if his methods change the atmosphere in a room and make things uncomfortable, he believes that outcome serves the material.
