‘Mr. & Mrs. Smith’ Boss Breaks Down the Series’ Guest Stars: Paul Dano’s Unlikely ‘Hot Neighbor,’ Donald Glover’s Real-Life Mom and a Defiant Cat
'Mr. & Mrs. Smith' showrunner Francesca Sloane breaks down the series' A-list guest stars, from Sarah Paulson to her own father-in-law, Ron Perlman.
Along with casting director Carmen Cuba, they auditioned and screen-tested a “conveyor belt of hunks” with “big, buff muscles and crazy hair” before arriving at Dano, who, of course, is “an attractive guy” — he just didn’t fit the prototype they had in mind. Image Credit: Amazon Prime Video To film the ski resort-set in the third episode, the crew spent months living in the Italian Dolomites, an experience that started to feel like “The Shining,” Sloane says with a laugh. So, she was attracted to the thought of him “playing a blubbering baby-man who’s in distress… and commenting on how aging happens backwards once you get to a certain point.” Still, the role is by no means an easy one, as Toby must keep up with John and Jane by running from gunfire and jumping over ledges to evade their pursuers.
