New topic: Actors playing against type

1. Jon Hamm - Reverend Richard Wayne Gary Wayne on Unsinkable Kimmy Schmidt  
Hamm is great in comedic roles but it’s a bit odd to see Don Draper playing this goofy doomsday cult leader.

Patrick Stewart: So in my film, I play a man who controls the world with his mind.

Patrick Stewart: Yeah. For instance, I’m walking along, and I see this beautiful girl, and I think I’d like to see her naked, and so all her clothes fall off.  
Andy Millman: All her - clothes fall off?  
Patrick Stewart: Yes, and she’s scrabbling around to get them back on again, but even before she can get her knickers on, I’ve seen everything. Yeah. I’ve seen it all.
