James Frain Talks Franklin
The EW caught up with James Frain about his new show The Cape coming to NBC.
He will be playing the villain.
Check it out here.
Below is what he had to say about our dear departed Franklin:
Alas, Frain says he still mourns the passing of Franklin in the addictive HBO drama. “He’s done. Dead. Gone. Once they goo you, there’s no coming back from that. Goo equals gone. I can’t tell you how many more doubletakes I get since doing that character. He was such a great character and he was the most fun to play ever but I think part of what made it so fun is that it was such a contained ride. When you’ve got someone that psycho, where is he going to go next? There’s something cool about the fact that it was like a hit and run. But I do miss him. I have started to collect memorable death scenes.

He talks Tron, True Blood and more.

Here is an excerpt:
Was it particularly difficult to do some of your scenes on this past season of True Blood, especially when your character, Franklin, was terrorizing Tara (Rutina Wesley)? Is it hard to get to that place?
FRAIN: No, it’s not because, if it’s going well, meaning that the writing is good, the directing is good and the other actor is present with you, then it’s always fun. It’s make-believe. It becomes difficult when there’s something not working in the equation. What’s remarkable is when you watch stuff back afterwards and you go, “Oh, my god, that’s terrifying! I remember when we were doing that and it was really good fun.” Especially when it comes to that intense stuff, sometimes it’s even more fun than not because it’s so absurd, over-the-top and extreme. But, Rutina Wesley is just a very open and generous actor, and we just had a blast.

New York Mag has an interview with James Frain.

Here is an excerpt:
Did you know, initially, what this character was all about?
No, they didn’t actually tell me much at all. I went to an audition and we had a couple of scenes — the first meeting with Tara at the bar, and then one of the scenes in which I’m really distraught at her trying to get away, and really, there was nothing about it that seemed like it wasn’t just a torturous romantic story. It wasn’t until I started filming it, and started getting these scripts coming in, when I was like, Oookay! All right! I guess I’m a psycho.

SPOILERS
Here is an excerpt:
TVGuide.com: Had you read any of the novels before taking the role?
Frain: No, I didn’t know about the novels, I just know about the show. I got a broad sense of how it compares, but I think it’s different. They expanded Franklin’s storyline out for sure.
TVGuide.com: Franklin Mott is a bit of a mystery man. What can you tell us about him?
Frain: Franklin Mott is a private eye. We learn later in the season that he works for Russell [Denis O'Hare], who is the King. He’s been sent on a mission to dig up information on Bill. His attention is completely distracted by the charms of Tara [Rutina Wesley].
TVGuide.com: Do you think he really likes Tara or is he just using her?
Frain: It’s kind of a spoiler. That’s the question of the first few episodes on whether he likes her. I think he really likes her, but I don’t know that guys like Franklin have the same idea of what like means like the rest of us do. I think the better word is obsessed. That’s what we start to discover.
