“Who Gives a F*** What Other People Think”: Walton Goggins, Adam Scott and the Drama Actor Roundtable

Cooper Koch, Diego Luna, Eddie Redmayne and Jeffrey Wright join to talk embracing the sleepless nights, their fights with fans and the reality that you’re never going to be anybody but you — and that’s perfectly OK. Isn’t it?

The toast comes at the tail end of THR ‘s annual Drama Actor Emmy Roundtable, a bonding ritual of sorts featuring a sextet of TV’s buzziest stars at Soho House’s West Hollywood outpost. In this case, the White Lotus and Righteous Gemstones scene-stealer was joined by Diego Luna ( Andor, La Máquina), Eddie Redmayne( The Day of the Jackal), Adam Scott( Severance), Jeffrey Wright( The Agency, The Last of Us) and newcomer Cooper Koch( Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story). But before the cacophony of cheers, the men, most who’d never met before, swapped war stories about the appalling things they were told earlier in their careers — among them: “You’re not getting cast because you have a gay voice,” and, “You don’t have the looks, so you’d better work harder than everyone” — and the restless nights before a new project.
