Rich Sommer, who plays Harry Crane on the incredibly awesome Mad Men, did a Q&A with the Washington Post recently.
Here are the goodies.
From the washingtonpost.com:
Kalamazoo, Mich.: Half the fun of watching “Mad Men” is figuring out what Matt Weiner really meant. Does the cast do that, too? And, was there an episode that puzzled all of you?
Rich Sommer: I have no idea what Matt means in many of these scripts, but I don’t think it matters. I had a professor tell me in grad school that theme is not the actor’s job, so I took that to heart.
Sometimes, Matt will grab me and say, “you know this episode is about X, right?” And I will say, “sure, sure.” And it’s always enlightening, because it feels like a code being cracked. But I don’t work too hard on trying to figure it out on my own, because I’m not that smart.
