The two discussed Joeythe role of We were the lucky onesas well as her experience losing weight and changing hair color for the role. Patricia then talked about actors taking on roles in plays based on historical events and figures.

“I think when your heart is in the right place, and you care about the material and you want to honor the material, you have to kind of open your heart to that collective experience. “It’s one of the horrible things of humanity, you know, that man does to man, and I think that’s why historical things are very intense,” she said before to ask. Joey about The act.

“I know in The act, you played Gypsy-Rose, and… now she’s out of prison. But this is also based on a real person. And is it different when you play? Like, someone who… actually existed? Patricia request.

“Yes it does,” Joey said, adding that Patricia‘s comments were the “perfect description” of “what I mean when I say the least we can do as actors is feel overwhelmed by the emotion we feel in a scene.” It’s the least we can do. When you’re playing someone who’s been through something so horrible. She’s a real person.

“Gypsy is a living person, and people can see and hear and experience her in the world. And there’s a responsibility to that in a different way. Because it’s like, ‘Oh, some people can make a direct comparison to… what I did,'” she said.

She added We were the lucky ones is “so different,” adding, “because Halina is no longer alive. But his story is, as you know, hopeful and devastating, heartbreaking. And there’s so much joy in that too, in some parts. I just felt a real, not a pressure, but… a commitment to do justice to make his family proud. I think we’ve all felt that way. Every one of us in the cast said we just wanted to make this beautiful family proud.
