Maya Erskine Shares the Tom Cruise Trick That Helped Her Film ‘Mr. & Mrs. Smith’ Action Scenes
'Mr. & Mrs. Smith' star Maya Erskine talks filming with Donald Glover and a Tom Cruise trick that helped with action scenes.
She also had to strike a balance in playing Jane, who begins with a clean slate since the character must completely walk away from her past life for this job. Erskine says series co-creators Francesca Sloane and Glover helped her figure out how to inhabit someone who is hiding so much of who she is during deadly assignments and falling in love with her faux husband. The physical demands of the show were on par with the emotional ones, and filming came shortly after Erskine gave birth to her first child, Leon Frederick, with actor Michael Angarano in 2021.
