Interview with Lee Jones of "The
Bastard Executioner" on
FX 9/9/15
I was part of the conference call that actor Lee Jones
did with the press on this date. However, FX no longer sends
us transcripts of these calls, and I forgot to dial in to
listen to the recording that they provide. Apparently they
only leave it up for us for 24 hours (which kind of sucks).
I completely forgot about this interview!
I'm asking around to see if anyone else has it. In the
meantime, here are some links to other people who were on
the call, and their versions of the interview. Unlike me,
most of them don't just put up the transcripts, apparently.
Honestly, I'm not 100% sure what I asked him! I do a lot
of these calls. I may have asked him the question
about how he prepared physically for the role, or I may have
asked him why he took the role (or both). It was
great to speak with him, though. He seems like a very nice
guy. He's very talented. The show is really good
(although too violent for me).

best transcription of all of the links here.)

ABOUT THE
BASTARD EXECUTIONER:
The Bastard
Executioner is a medieval epic that tells the story of
Wilkin Brattle, a 14th century warrior, whose
life is forever changed when a divine messenger beseeches
him to lay down his sword and lead the life of another man:
a journeyman executioner. Set in northern Wales during a
time rife with rebellion and political upheaval, Wilkin must
walk a tight rope between protecting his true identity while
also serving a mysterious destiny.
Guided by Annora (Katey Sagal), a
mystical healer whose seeming omniscience keeps Wilkin under
her sway; manipulated by Milus Corbett (Stephen Moyer), a
devious Chamberlain with grand political aspirations, and
driven by a deepening connection with the Baroness Lady Love
(Flora Spencer-Longhurst); Wilkin struggles to navigate
political, emotional and supernal pitfalls in his quest to
understand his greater purpose.
