TheaterMania has a new interview with Garret. You can read it here.
How did Conviction get onto your radar?
Sarah Paulson and I share an agent, so when she was cast in the play it came to my attention. I haven’t done a play in about three years, and I had been sort of keeping my eye out for something that would pique my interest. I read it and it really stuck with me. I liked the dialogue a lot, and I liked how natural it felt. Plus, I wanted to work with Sarah in an actual scene together! And I’ve heard nothing but great things about Bay Street and the Sag Harbor community.
What is the biggest challenge in playing Tom Hodges, someone who may or may not be a pretty awful person?
It’s tricky ground because [the play is] about someone who preys on children. Probably the hardest part of playing Tom is to not make any judgments about him while I play him. I have to see his point of view. I’m trying to maintain some level of affection for someone who might do something like this. But the play shows how you’re one mistake away from ruining anything. — More at TheaterMania.com
