-Your show "The Sinner" was fantastic.
Correctly nominated for a Golden Globe.
Correctly nominated for an Emmy.
And, yet, you had not done television in 15 years.
Is that true? -Oh, yeah. At least.
-And in that time, you probably --
I'm assuming you weren't looking for anything.
This project must have come and found you.
-It did. It was presented to us
by these amazing partners we have at UCP.
And they handed us the book, and I flew through this book,
shut the last page, and literally said, "This is mine.
Nobody can have this.
I don't know how we're going do this.
I don't know how I'm going to do this.
This is terrifying and crazy and awful,
but we're going to do this."
And I just, like, hung on for dear life.
And now here we are.
-And I highly recommend everybody to watch season one.
Because there are incredible twists in the show.
It is a role that, I think,
is very different than maybe what we've
come to expect from you. -Definitely.
I want to give you a lot of credit -- you cry a lot.
It's very emotional. -A lot of tears.
-You make your voice -- you look like you're in
a cold commercial for most of the season.
-Oh, my gosh. -Did you know you could
generate these faces or did you just go
so deep into character that they came out?
-Thank God it was sort of, like, a blackout situation
and I didn't realize I made those faces
until I was watching the cuts many months later.
-So you mention watching the cuts, 'cause you're also --
You found the project, you put it together,
you starred in season one.
Season two, you are now just an executive producer.
You still have Bill Pullman from season one,
a couple of incredible actors in Carrie Coon and Tracy Letts.
-Yes. -How is it now with a project
that you've been on on one side of the camera,
now just to be on the other? -It's so different.
And at first, kind of awful.
Like it was sort of really sad not to be on set every day
blood, sweat, tears, snot... -Literally, yeah.
-...tears and snot and bad faces all day every day.
I kind of was really -- kind of felt a little left out,
a little butt hurt about the whole thing.
But even though it was our decision,
the creative team's decision that this was the right thing
to do, to maintain the integrity of the show,
new investigation and let Bill continue on.
So it's hard to let it go. -I imagine it's hard.
But I will say one of the things I really like about --
There's a kind of television show now that tells
completely different stories from year to year,
and it's a really nice way -- I feel like the storytelling
is a lot easier contained when you don't have to worry
about telling one story over X amount of seasons.
You can just kind of tie off one and start another one.
-It's true. And I think you just don't get stale.
You're not trying to regurgitate the same thing
and come up with something new.
You can start totally fresh and have new people come in.
It's a really nice way to work, I think.
-I want to talk about -- you have a child,
a 3-year-old, right? -I do.
-Congratulations. I have two children.
-I know! Congratulations.
-Thank you, but this is crazy.
Before we had children, we played expectant parents
in the now famous film "New Year's Eve."
-We did. And we had a child together.
-And it was -- obviously
this was a fantasy film.
-[ Chuckling ] Oh, my God!
This was a fantasy film where someone like me
has a baby with Jessica. -Shut up!
[ Laughter ]
-Look, still, like, horrible face.
-Yeah, no, that's true. I don't know why
I underestimated your weird faces.
-This has been consistent my whole career, apparently.
-The crazy thing was this obviously was a film
about rushing to the hospital and having a crazy birth,
and then I had a kid in real life,
and it was so much crazier than the movie.
-Oh, I mean, that story, we've never talked about that.
-Yeah, my wife fully dropped a baby in the lobby.
And I was like, "This is weirder than my movie."
[ Laughter ]
-This is weirder than "New Year's Eve" was as a movie.
-That is so strange. -You travel a lot with your son,
Yes? -I do.
-And you've taken him to Europe a lot.
I know your husband is on tour,
so that gives you a chance to go to a lot of cities.
How is he on the European tour?
-He's kind of amazing.
I mean, you know, he's into new countries.
He's into learning words from different languages.
I think he's absorbing things.
I take him to these amazing museums.
Like, we're in Louvre and we're looking at
the most incredible old painters and the paintings,
and I'm poking him in his stroller.
I'm like, "Look, look, this is important."
And he's got his iPad and he's literally giving me
the meanest face, just like, "Ugh!
You're so boring! Leave me alone."
And I have a picture of him in his stroller
with his legs kicked up with his iPad and this beautiful painting
behind him, not caring at all.
Like, not absorbing it.
-The crazy thing -- Whenever I go to museums, I do realize
like 300 years ago, those paintings were iPads.
You just like -- You would, like, go and be like, "Great."
And that was your day. -That was it.
-Yeah. And then the rest of the day,
you would just, like, fill the hours thinking about
the painting you saw and be like, "That was really cool.
Did you see the apple?" "Yeah. The apple was..."
[ Laughter ]
"The apple was outstanding." -Exactly.
-You also -- A bachelor party for your sister?
Was it a friend? Who was it for?
-It was for my brother's soon-to-be wife.
-Okay, gotcha.
So your soon-to-be sister-in-law.
-My sister-in-law, yeah.
-You guys went to Vegas.
-We did. -And I think there's an image
of what somebody looks like when they do the full Vegas.
-Oh, yeah. -I guess you would argue that
you did the full Vegas, and you posted this.
This is not somebody who, like, side iPhoned a photo of you.
You were proud of this look in Vegas.
-I was owning it. -You owned this look.
Here you are. That's Hollywood for you guys right there.
Jessica...
Jessica's just rocking the slots.
-Living it up.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-The best thing about it is -- -That's my lucky style.
-I feel like you could probably hide in plain sight,
because somebody would say,
"Hey, that's Jessica Biel," and they'd be like,
"That's not Jessica Biel." -"No way!" Exactly.
-Jessica Biel's not in a robe playing slots.
I had just come from the buffet, too.
-Oh, wow!
[ Laughter ]
-It is always so wonderful to see you.
Best of luck at the Emmys. -And you, too.
-Thank you very much. I appreciate it.
That's very kind of you, and, yeah.
Hopefully you'll come back soon. It's always great to see you.
Give it up for Jessica Biel, everybody.
