BigLittleLies: From decent husband to hall-of-fame dirtbag, Jeffrey Nordling discusses his character's fall from grace
who had written the 2014 novel on which the season was based, had not written a sequel.
“That was one of my complaints: This is not Gordon,” explained Nordling. He also found it weird that “this season, my character is just along for the ride—and Renata made all the money. That was definitely not the case in season one.” But most crucially, “I felt really protective of [Gordon and Renata’s] marriage…. I knew that it meant the marriage is going south, and it is the only good marriage in the show in season one.
As for the reason why Gordon snapped? “Mostly, look what Gordon has: the house, this beautiful wife, this gorgeous daughter. And it’s not enough. There’s something—whether it’s greed or someone looking for something higher, material-wise, like the jet. So he gambles. And I get the feeling this is not the first time he has. He probably did a little bit of it before. But yeah, he bet everything.
To prep for Gordon’s midlife crisis mind-set, the actor came up with a playlist. “It’s kind of punk stuff, but not the punk that is dark and dire. It’s the stuff that, after three hours of dancing, you’re sweating and smiling. It’s that kind of fun, grim punk. So that is the feeling I think he was trying to capture. There’s an edge of danger in the music.
