Oscar winner NaomiWatts shares her reservations about tackling the Roger Ailes story LoudestVoice and the press intrigue over her and pal Nicole Kidman inhabiting the same role
Over the course of seven episodes, the limited series dramatizes the rise and fall of her former boss, Fox News creator Roger Ailes, who arguably did more than any single person to create the deeply fractious political environment that we exist in today. In fact, showrunner Alex Metcalf goes as far as to argue that without Ailes, who is played here by Russell Crowe, there is no Donald Trump.
It's definitely going to bring up tough conversations, and you always have that reservation when you know that something is going to get a big reaction in a controversial way. It makes you pause. But to me, it just felt so relevant, and to play a woman who's gone through something as horrific as this and to come out on top? It’s quite liberating as an actor to play that kind of role. It feels really juicy and vindicating as well.
What did you feel you learned in that moment that you wouldn’t have or couldn’t have at the anchor desk? When you say you were not allowed to, are you referring to the NDA that she signed as part of the settlement?Did you consult with anyone else in Carlson's world or in the Fox News world to better understand what being in Ailes' orbit entailed?
We haven't talked about it at length. Obviously, we have an awareness that we're both playing her. Look, I'm sure the press will make something out of it, but it makes sense that good actresses want to play good roles and the material is driven by a need to tell a truthful, powerful story.
