Sam Anderson on Perfecting the Art of Supportive TV Husbands with ‘Matlock’ and ‘Lost’ and How ’75 Is the New 50′
The actor, also known for his roles in "ER" and "Forrest Gump," currently plays the supportive husband Edwin Kingston to Kathy Bates' character.
Matty is actually working undercover at the law firm that she blames for her daughter’s death, as they hid evidence that could have gotten opioids off the market — and Edwin is her partner, getting dragged into a world of deception and espionage that marks new territory for the retired professor. He credits the show’s success to its impressive ensemble — even though Season 1 didn’t see Edwin interact with the characters at the law firm played by Beau Bridges, Jason Ritter and Skye P. Marshall — and creator Jennie Snyder Urman, who keeps the surprises coming every week. The warm and familiar chemistry he shares with Bates is helped by the fact they first met 40 years ago in a class taught by Anderson’s mentor, acclaimed theater director José Quintero.
