Jeremy Strong on Poking Fun at Method Acting With Dunkin’ Donuts Super Bowl Ad: ‘I Had No Trouble Taking the Piss Out of Myself’


Jeremy Strong talks about sending up his method acting with a new Dunkin' Donuts ad and shares details about his upcoming Bruce Springsteen biopic.

But what’s undeniable is the extremes that Strong goes to results in mesmerizing performances, both on stage (he won a Tony last year for “An Enemy of the People”) and screen (he’s up for an Oscar for playing the flamboyantly amoral Roy Cohn in “ The Apprentice “). That utter commitment is even on display in Strong’s Super Bowl ad, where he reveals an unexpected gift for comedy while dressing as a town crier and reading a proclamation about caffeinated beverages. As he prepared for his Dunkin’ spot to debut, Strong chatted via Zoom about “The Apprentice’s” long road to the Oscars, playing Bruce Springsteen ‘s mentor in a new biopic about “the Boss,” and becoming a coffee pitchman while having the last laugh.
