'1923' Star Jennifer Carpenter On Playing Real-Life Marshall Mamie Fossett: "She Signed Up For The Deadliest Job Available At The Time"
In 1923, Jennifer Carpenter plays Mamie Fossett, a U.S. Deputy Marshall who’s approached by Father Renaud (Sebastian Roché) and the ruthless Marshal Kent (Jamie McShane) for help with finding the young indigenous woman who murdered two nuns in season one. I sent the tape back and then they said, ‘do you want to come to Texas and be in the room to test?’ It was one step at a time, and then it felt like a lot when you look at the content, how much space she takes up within the season. I haven’t had a reaction to film or television in a very long time that made me closer to myself or my bloodline or my own personal history.
