Claire Foy, Sandra Oh, More Top Actresses on Difficult Scenes, Surprising Responses to Their Shows

Quote:

What were some of the challenges in portraying the queen this season?

The second season felt much more real in the sense that it was a bit messier, especially with Elizabeth making decisions, not really believing in herself and going back on things. Because of that, she was very, very isolated. She had a very lonely storyline because she realized that ultimately the buck stops with her, and all the people that she wanted to help her, protect her and look after her hop off, essentially, because of the distance that's created by the role. It was a challenge [to] keep people interested in someone who isn't just struggling outwardly with something that everybody can understand, but to ask the audience to go along with someone who is internally struggling with their own place in the world and her lack of understanding about herself — that, I think, is a big arc for an audience. And so it was therefore a bit difficult for me: I was like, "God, are people going to care as much?" But they cared more, which has been the most amazing thing.

On the reverse side of that, what was your favorite scene this season?

I loved the birth scene because it felt quite cathartic for her as a character. We saw two births in this series, and one of them was owned by the state [the heir to the throne], and the second one was her own — it was hers and her husband's. But also, any of  my scenes with Matt [Smith]. They were always so full of all sorts of stuff, and so I always loved doing those scenes with him.

Obviously, it’s your final season on The Crown. How did it feel to say goodbye to Elizabeth on your final day of work?

It was such a special experience and such a real honor of a character, so I don’t think I will [say goodbye], and I don’t know if I want to, either. I’m very, very sentimental about all of the characters I play and the experiences I have [playing them], so I don’t really want to let go of them. I’ll just cling on for dear life.

Have you given any advice to Olivia Colman, who is going to be taking over the role?

No, none. It’s not her first rodeo. She is an incredibly accomplished and gifted actress, so nothing I could say would help her. All I can have is warm thoughts and feelings about her, and hope she gets them every once and a while.

How has portraying Elizabeth for two seasons changed how you approach  the roles you're being offered or the way you work?

It taught me so much about being brave and trusting my instincts  and not second-guessing myself because I didn't have a chance  to second-guess myself when I was shooting that. I'm always going  to be on the lookout for complacency or thinking that I always have the right answer, and I definitely struggle. But I think what that job gave me is a healthy dose of "I'm  not always wrong," whereas before,  I just thought I was wrong all the time. I was given a sort of agency over my own acting. I had never really felt that before.

What are some of the unexpected reactions you’ve gotten to The Crown this season?

Someone who shall remain very nameless said they had a bit of a thing for Queen Elizabeth. I was like "What? I'm very much middle-aged." And they were like "Hey, don’t ask me! I’m just as surprised as you." It’s not quite the same as when someone tells you they find you attractive — [in this case] they find you dressed as the queen weirdly alluring. That was quite unexpected.

What’s one thing you’d never want to be asked on the red carpet again?

“How do you feel?”

Which of your cast is best suited to run for office and why?

John Lithgow. I think the time’s right, and he just needs to do it now.

Who would you most like to chat up at Emmys afterparties?

Viola Davis.
