Writer & Director Aram Rappaport on Shooting the Unique Series The Artist: "It Was Mayhem"

Aram RappaportPart one of the new series The Artist comes to The Network this Thanksgiving. The series features a blend of real-life historical figures and a fictional story created by Iram Rappaport, who also directed the murder mystery. Set in New York’s high society during the Gilded Age, the story follows eccentric tycoon Norman Henry (Mandy Patinkin) and his wife, Marian (Janet McTeer) as they host the biggest celebrities of the era at their extravagant home. Their guests include scientist Thomas Edison (Hank Azaria), artist Edgar Degas (Danny Huston), and model and actress Evelyn Nesbit (Ever Anderson) as she becomes known overnight after her husband, Harry Thaw (Clark Gregg), murders the architect Stanford White during an event at Madison Square Gardens. However, truths are revealed, and by the end, Henry is found dead, launching the historical murder mystery.

In developing the series, writer and director Rappaport wanted to capture something that felt unpredictable. “I would say it’s a scorched earth, Gilded Age murder mystery where you don't know who's dead, who's dying, who's doing the killing or what historical facts are accurate until the very end,” he told SciFi Vision. “…You don't know what's real and what isn’t.”

He began shaping the idea during the recent writers’ and actors’ strikes. The tension he saw in the industry became a creative spark. “I just saw the polarization between these creatives and these artists that were fighting for a little bit, these, you know, presumptive kings of the industry who were deeply in debt…but still felt entirely in control of the artists that essentially produced for them,” he told the site. Setting the story during the Gilded Age allowed him to mirror those power imbalances.

Casting the series meant building roles around the actors he brought onboard. Rappaport explained that the process began with Mandy Patinkin, but it took time for the actor to connect with the material. “[H]e sort of didn't understand it and passed on it,” Rappaport said. After meeting again and explaining that the tone wasn’t as dark as he thought, Patinkin signed on with one condition, which helped shape the rest of the series. “He had one condition, that we sort of shoot it like a love story and that even though these two people have sort of fallen out of love and hate each other, they sort of find it again.”

Clark Gregg & Ever Anderson on Camels, Champagne & More in The Artist + Reminiscing Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

The ArtistThe new historical murder mystery, The Artist, blends real-life figures from history with a fictional storyline written and directed by Aram Rappaport. Set during the Gilded Age in New York’s high society, the series unfolds as the eccentric mogul Norman Henry (Mandy Patinkin) and his wife, Marian (Janet McTeer), host the biggest celebrities of the time at their lavish estate, including Thomas Edison (Hank Azaria), Edgar Degas (Danny Huston), and model-actress Evelyn Nesbit (Ever Anderson), who becomes an overnight celebrity when her husband, Harry Thaw (Clark Gregg), murders architect Stanford White at Madison Square Gardens. As ambitions collide and truths are revealed, Henry is found dead, sparking a murder mystery for the ages.

Part one of the new series The Artist comes to the streaming platform The Network on November 27th, followed by part two on December 25th.

In a recent interview with SciFi Vision, Gregg and Anderson opened up about filming one of the series most iconic moments: a spectacle involving camels, a live band, and gunfire.

“Turns out I love camels. Who knew?” Gregg told the site with a laugh. Anderson added that she had never even seen a camel in real life before filming.

Gregg reflected on the ambitious scene from episode three. “[T]his was a huge scene with camels and the period costumes and gunfire and all of that stuff. So, it felt like a really big moment in the show, and luckily, it was really well written and really fun to play.”

The whole part of the shoot moved very quickly, according to Anderson. “What I can pride Hilary Shor and Aram Rappaport on is they really kept us going on that day, because we had pretty much at the entire beginning of the episode three…in one day,” said the actress, adding that it bonded the two of them.

Christopher Gorham Balances Family Drama in Sheriff Country & Sitcom Fun in Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage

Christopher GorhamTonight, an all-new episode of Sheriff Country airs on CBS. A spinoff of Fire Country, the series follows Sheriff Mickey Fox (Morena Baccarin) as she navigates small-town life and family ties in the rural town of Edgewater, where she juggles family and duty. Christopher Gorham plays the role of Travis Fraley, a lawyer and Mickey’s ex-husband with whom she shares a daughter, and who’s now dating her deputy, Cassidy Campbell (Michele Weaver).

When Gorham first joined the project, he admitted that, like many fans, he had not watched Fire Country before reading the script. “I had never seen Fire Country before I [was] reading for this job,” he recently told SciFi Vision during an interview. “…I read the script, and then I went back and started watching Fire Country and became a fan. So, now I've seen all of them. I'm all caught up.”

He called the show’s emotional core his favorite aspect. “The family stuff to me is really the heart of the show,” he said, adding that Mickey’s struggle to balance her home life and work family is “really compelling.”

Gorham also talked about the complexity of Travis’s relationship with Mickey and Cassidy, noting, “Cassidy and Travis didn't intend to start a relationship…[T]hey both have a deep affection, or love, for Mickey. And I think that that thing that they have in common, which ironically is Mickey, is the thing that ended up bringing them together.”

During the interview, Gorham also discussed his work on season two of the comedy Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage where he plays reprises his role as Scott, Mandy’s ex-boyfriend and boss at the local news station, which is causing some conflict between the two lead characters. “Scott invites her on a story, like an overnight story that they're doing on the meteor shower, which is going to require her to go out of town with Scott for over the weekend, and Georgie's not happy about it, which spurs him to come and have a man-to-man conversation with Scott,” he said, adding that he has been looking forward to Scott and Georgie finally meeting.
