ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: What a season to joinThe Affair, right?

Your character is such an interesting part of its reinvention.

Episode 303

So, how are they going to contain that guy in a third season?

They had to physically put him in a jail.

The character of John Gunther was birthed to be [Noah’s] doppelganger.

He is the darker shadow of who Noah is.

Is this for real?

Is Noah’s judgment clouded by the medicine he’s taking?

Is he coming unthreaded?

I had a positive first experience in doing episodic television in something that’s new to me.

If it ain’t a little bit scary, you aren’t learning anything new.

I don’t know what to think of that.

That must be strange to hear!

I just say thank you, question mark?

It feels like one of the first times we’ve seen Noah being completely honest with himself.

I had to trust that they really knew where this was going.

They weren’t making it up as they went along.

There was a trajectory.

Anything could have happened on the inside.

I only had a few moments to establish that he’s not that malicious individual…

He feels he can do that, too.

Is that an appropriate path to justice?

Moving forward, how do you think the revelations in episode 9 will weigh on Noah and Helen?

I think he also did it [for that reason].

Earlier, Gunther tells him, “I always find out everything.

I always do.”

Is this Noah speaking to himself?
