The Purge

both content and style to emulate some of the great ’80s film comedies with the “underdog outsiders versus upper-crust snobs” theme. The show also uses a nothing-off-limits approach to its comedy that allows it to not shy away from finding humor in the raunchy sex-and-drug habits of many of its protagonists. The energy of the series also mirrors the intense, often coke-inspired bravado of its main character — Don Cheadle’s Maurice Monroe. Cheadle enthusiastically inhabits Maurice, who refers to himself as “black Moses” and promises to “put the ‘brother’ in ‘Lehman Brothers’” as he works to crash the old boys club of Wall Street alongside the other outsiders of his small trading house (Cheadle is matched in his energy by an outstanding cast including Andrew Rannells and Regina Hall). In the real world, Cheadle, too, was working tirelessly on completing the series

Although Showtime’s wild new series Black Monday deals with a devastating economic event — it Don Cheadle opens on the titular Oct. 19, 1987, Headlines A the date of the biggest Wall Superb Cast In Street crash in history — the New Wall Street series draws uproarious and Comedy. By Jeff Pfeiffer outrageous comedy from the crash as viewers are treated to a ﬁctionalized accounting of how a group of outsiders eventually caused that crash. The manic ’80s energy Showtime, of Black Monday not only Sundays perfectly ﬁts its setting and beginning time period, but also may Jan. 20 come from the fact that its producing partners Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg (who also co-direct the pilot episode) appear to have been inspired in

— often filming 14-hour days — when we caught up with him to talk about Black Monday. Are Maurice and the other characters in Black Monday based on real people, or are they satiric constructs put together from Wall Street archetypes? Don Cheadle: The latter. It would be nearly impossible to find this particular makeup of people in one house. There’s a line in the series where Maurice talks about how they’re the ones nobody ever wanted. At that time, — hell, even now — a black man at the head of a trading house with a black woman as his right hand is pretty unheard of. But it affords the opportunity to play with and talk about all that stuff in the context of the show, so it’s cool. But mostly, we’re hoping people laugh. It’s a comedy, after all. Although Black Monday deals with a specific historical crash and has fun satirizing the excess of the 1980s, do you think it also has lessons even for today?

As James B. Stewart talks about in his book Den of Thieves, which focuses on Wall Street in the ’80s, the one thing that cannot be eliminated from the way the market works is the inherent greed of people in general and their inability to refrain from letting it run amok. Will our show serve as a cautionary tale? I doubt it. And it’s not really the point. I think our job is to hopefully provide some comic relief as people try not to slide down razor blade mountain. If they take away something substantive, that’s cool, too. This isn’t the first time you’ve starred in a Showtime series that has scathingly satirized an industry that some people may not look too kindly on — this time it’s finance, in House of Lies it was management consulting. Do you see any similarities or differences between Maurice Monroe and your Emmynominated House of Lies role as Marty Kaan? The biggest difference for me is that Maurice isn’t a world-beater. No matter what Marty faced, I think the prevailing thinking was that he was always as smart, if not smarter, than everybody in the room, and that given any crack, he could exploit it and land on his feet. Maurice more lives on his cunning and insane gambles. He’s not a thoughtful plotter as much as a dude who’s gotten lucky so far and would rather push his chips in the middle on a hope to get a winning hand rather than be a lock going in. It can’t last. You were just a few years starting into your acting career on Oct. 19, 1987. Do you recall reading/hearing about the events of Black Monday? I had just moved to L.A. and started trying to make it in the business. That hustle was allconsuming. Although the economy everywhere was affected, my brown-rice-and-broccoli diet didn’t really take a discernible hit, and finding work didn’t get appreciably harder. It was kind of a blip for me. 2007 definitely caught my attention, though, and not unlike everywhere, our business definitely changed for the tougher. 5

or seven seasons Aidan Gillen portrayed the cunning Lord Petyr Baelish (a.k.a. Littlefinger) on Game of Thrones. So when it came time to bid adieu to the man and his misdeeds, Gillen said he knew what he needed to do. “That was quite a momentous release to just walk away from. But that’s what I do. When I’m finished with a part, I just stop thinking about it. I literally just walk away. Take the jacket off and don’t look back.” Although he wouldn’t have had time to even if he wanted. This past year the Irish actor has been immersed in high-profile projects that found him playing a hitman in Peaky Blinders, Queen’s manager in Bohemian Rhapsody and 6

a brilliant astrophysicist in History’s new thriller Project Blue Book. Based on top-secret investigations into UFOs and other related phenomena conducted by the United States Air Force during 1952-69, the series tells the story of Dr. J. Allen Hynek (played by Gillen), who the government recruited to debunk reports surrounding the unexplained. Hynek spent years meticulously researching thousands of cases, hundreds of which were never solved, trying to have science prove the unexplainable. “I was always quite taken by Star Trek. It was a big show for me when I was a kid, and Close Encounters was a huge ﬁlm for me when I was growing up. So you could say I didn’t have to be

converted to get involved in this project,” Gillen shares. “What’s interesting about it is that it is fact-based and science-based and history-based. This is a real character. It’s based on real events that happened in a very interesting era.” Some of these stories covered in Project Blue Book will put goose bumps on the back of your neck — you’ll be dumbfounded that these events actually took place. It’s really a fertile ground for a TV series to cover, as Project Blue Book ran for 17 years, and the ﬁrst season alone only covers six months into Hynek’s tenure. “Truth is stranger than ﬁction,” Gillen attests. “All of [Blue Book’s] stories are based on actual reports of things that people reported. They said they saw

it. They believed they saw it, in most cases and sometimes not. We’re not afraid to dramatize a hoax either because once people start seeing the stuﬀ, people start faking it, too. Even people who do go to massive lengths to create a story to fool people, to keep that story up for years, you know, why would you do that? That’s also of interest to me. What puts somebody in that mindset? “Also cases with multiple witnesses — UFOs in the 1950s over Washington, D.C.? There were mass reports,” he continues. “They sent up ﬁghter jets, and were scrambled to go up and try and shoot them down. These were seen by hundreds of people. I mean, that’s pretty interesting.” 7
