‘The Morning Show’ Star Mark Duplass on Chip’s On-Air Meltdown, ‘Obsessive’ Attraction to Alex and Why He Was ‘Nervous’ to Join the Apple Drama


Mark Duplass breaks down his 'Morning Show' character's Season 3 arc and where the Apple TV+ drama fits among the microbudget projects he's known for.

“The way to understanding how he could make the huge mistake to step into a workplace romance,” Duplass explains, is that “he’s got the best Achilles heel in the world: his obsession, deep love and codependence for Alex Levy. “It’s petty behavior; he wanted to punish her a little bit,” Duplass says, though he believes Chip excuses his actions to himself by focusing on the journalistic implications of the relationship, rather than his personal feelings of betrayal. Newly unemployed, he works behind the scenes with Bradley (Reese Witherspoon) and Stella (Greta Lee) to take down Paul, who they discover is planning to dissolve the network and sell off all of its assets.
