The A.V. Club: Can we go way back to the Walmart-baby movie? Your accent was spectacular in that. James Frain: Thanks. That was 2000. I just had been coming and going between L.A. and London, and in that year, I went to shoot for a couple of movies, and one of them was Reindeer Gameswith Ben Affleck. It was by John Frankenheimer. AVC: There are a l...
AVC: Your career is so interesting. That’s a perfect example. You do that, and you do Count Of Monte Cristo, and you do all these period pieces, and you’re on the Shakespeare stage. You have tremendous range. Is there a particular genre that you like? Do you lean toward Elizabethan? JF: It all kind of leans toward me. These things also come in cycl...
JF: Oh really now, you’re trolling now. That was so much fun. We actually shot that in Loch Ness and around that area. So we were in the wilds, and Scotland is absolutely beautiful. And we did this one scene, and it was me and Ted Danson in Loch Ness. It was cold—we had wetsuits on, but we were cold—and we were swimming around like this and they we...
AVC: In Hilary and Jackie,a biopic about British classical-musician sisters, you play Daniel, the famous conductor who Jackie du Pré eventually marries. JF: Daniel Barenboim, who is still a force in world orchestra and music. He’s an extraordinary man. He’s a really interesting guy, and he does a lot of work in Israel with bringing Palestine and Is...
AVC: That makes sense. The work’s in L.A. 24was really your first series, right? JF:Yeah, first American series, it was. AVC: Was that a really intense set? The stakes were so high. JF:It was very well-run. By the time I had come into it, it was an efficient machine. They knew exactly what worked, and they knew exactly what the look was. They had a...
JF: Empire was shot in Rome. We were shooting at the same time that HBO was doing Rome. We were the ABC version—ABC was doing a series based on Gladiator. That’s what Empire was, it was almost the same period of history. I found out afterwards there were all these fights between costume departments, because there’s only a certain number of Roman he...
AVC: I think if there’s a commonality to the characters you’ve played, it’s intensity. Like Franklin onTrue Blood. JF:I loved Franklin. His redeeming feature was his sense of humor, but what was hilarious and chilling about him at the same time was that he didn’t know that he was crazy. Like all really true crazy people. He really thought that he w...
JF:That costume is amazing. They shaved my head, and they bleached my eyebrows. So I came back from shooting that, and I was at a party and there was a friend of a friend of ours who was a therapist and he kind of took my wife over and says, “Is everything okay with James?” She’s like, “No, it’s for a role.” Because I looked fairly alarming. I forg...
AVC: The Capewas a superhero series that NBC was really pushing that year, and you played the villain. And then it got pulled after 10 episodes. JF: The Cape was trying to invent a whole new universe of superheroes at a time where there was a lot of competition from universes of known superheroes. So it was ambitious, and it was kind of just findin...
JF: [On True Detective], I was doing cop stuff. I think that was my first cop. I got to wear a cop uniform right at the end. I got to be a cop, and a cowboy, and a vampire. I’ve got my list. There’s a few left on the list. I was sort of a cowboy in The Lone Ranger, but it was such a small role. We got trained, taught how to ride and gunsling and al...
