Matthew Goode On New Detective Show ‘Dept Q’, His “Favorite Day Ever” With Maggie Smith On ‘Downton Abbey’ & If He’d Do A Spinoff


Matthew Goode talks new Netflix detective show 'Dept Q'; his "favorite day ever" with Maggie Smith on 'Downton Abbey' & if he'd do a spin-off

Frank moves the action to Scotland, with Goode starring as the English outsider alongside such Scottish favorites as Kelly Macdonald, Chloe Pirrie, Mark Bonnar, Shirley Henderson and Kate Dickie. As Morck reels from an incident that almost killed him and paralyzed his colleague DI Hardy (Jamie Sives) he finds himself sidelined to a ‘lost cause’ basement cold case unit with his sidekicks Akram (Alexei Manvelov) and Rose (Leah Birne). Here, in a Zoom chat from his home in the U.K. with his wife and children making excellent background appearances, Goode reveals how Morck’s mindset might have “infected” him, a favorite memory of working with the late, great Maggie Smith on Downton Abbey, and how he felt about his Robert Evans role in the making-of-The Godfather limited series The Offer, when not everyone loved that version of the story—least of all Coppola.
