Amanda Seyfried Never Thought She Would Play A Cop: “The Industry Sees You In A Certain Way Through The Years”


The star of Peacock's show in competition at Series Mania said a director's note shifted her perspective on acting to the front foot.

“I never thought that I was going to get the opportunity to play a cop,” she told Deadline, shortly after the launch of Long Bright River and on the eve of its Series Mania competition premiere. The Liz Moore adaptation comes from The Offer showrunner Nikki Toscano and stars Nicholas Pinnock, Ashleigh Cummings and John Doman alongside Seyfried. Long Bright River touches upon numerous societal themes including the opioid crisis, and Seyfried said doing the show taught her a lot about one of America’s most devastating modern struggles.
