Michael Cerveris on playing Ted Gunn and working with David Fincher.
“The ambiguity that Fincher craves certainly resonates within Cerveris’ depiction of Gunn. The actor explains that the character is “specific and intentional” in his actions, but those intentions are always a bit murky. This trait is embodied in the way Gunn interviews the main characters in the season premiere. Fincher told the actor to “find ways to mirror each of them.” The result is a fascinating game, with Cerveris squinting and hunching towards Holt McCallany’s Bill Trench, but adopting a more open, calming aura for Anna Torv’s Wendy Carr. The characters are disarmed and the audience has no idea where Gunn stands with any of them.”
