Kate Mara Talks ‘Friendship’ Absurdity and Working With Her Sister Rooney on ‘Bucking Fastard’


"Friendship" star Kate Mara breaks down her character, Tami, and teases her first-ever project with sister Rooney Mara, "Bucking Fastard."

Mara, known largely for her work in drama series like “House of Cards” and “A Teacher,” hasn’t gotten to flex her comedy chops as much. Tami isn’t outwardly funny at first, serving largely as a straight-man, but emerges as the film’s secret weapon, frequently kissing her son on the lips, waxing poetic about her ex-boyfriend Devon and complaining about her comically small car. Enter Paul Rudd’s charismatic weatherman Austin Carmichael, who charms Tami on a visit to the news station where he works.
