‘Handmaid’s Tale’ Star Bradley Whitford Wants His Old Boss Jeff Bezos to ‘Speak the F— Up’ Against Donald Trump
Bradley Whitford is back for another season of "The Handmaid's Tale," and he's not staying quiet when it comes to Donald Trump.
He plays Commander Joseph Lawrence, the irreverent architect of Gilead — a dystopian America run by whacked-out white Christian nationalists and their wives, who, after toppling the U.S. government, enslave women, torture them, mutilate them, rape them and steal their babies. It’s a strange coincidence that the pilot for “The Handmaid’s Tale” was shot during the 2016 election, when Ruth Bader Ginsburg was alive and Roe v. Wade was still the law of the land, and that now, what started as a horror fantasy about the subjugation of women by terrible, fanatical, power-hungry perverts might well be coming true. At the same time that this was happening in front of the camera, Whitford watched as Moss, in a fit of “unconscious Method acting,” began to immerse herself in the production of “The Handmaid’s Tale,” piling onto her job as star of the show, and director, a 24/7 involvement in producing, including casting and working with writers.
