We chat with Classof09 stars Kate Mara, Sepideh Moafi & Brian J. Smith about portraying their characters during 3 different time periods of the FXNetworks crime drama. Check out the first two episodes on hulu now!
The first 2 episodes of FX's Class of '09 are currently available to stream on Hulu, with new episodes releasing on Wednesdays. The limited series spans decades and centers around a group of FBI agents as they deal with changes to the criminal justice system and changes within themselves. Class of '09 stars Kate Mara as Ashley Poet, Brian J. Smith as Daniel Lennix, and Sepideh Moafi as Hour Nazari.
Stars Kate Mara, Sepideh Moafi, and Brian J. Smith spoke exclusively with Screen Rant about what distinguishes Class of '09 from other crime shows and portraying their characters over the course of three different time periods. Brian, in comparison to other projects you’ve done and other characters you’ve played, what is something that really stands out to you about Lennix?
Sepideh Moafi: It's quite unique, tonally. It's a suspenseful thriller with a sprinkle of sci-fi. As Brian mentioned, we get to see these characters throughout various points in their lives and how the decisions they make or don't make affect their lives—the ripple effect and the consequences of our human decisions, whether right or wrong.
Kate, you've also played a wide range of roles. Was there anything that surprised you about Poet that you haven’t seen in a role before? Brian J. Smith: Well, there's the makeup. There were certain days when we would have to go from our present-day look to our future look. I don't know how long it took you all, but I think mine was about two hours to get the old-age look on. Getting into that was difficult.
