Kerry Bishé Interview

I have to say, first of all, that I’m a huge Halt and Catch Fire fan.
Oh good! It’s always nice to meet one of the eleven people who saw it.

But we eleven are really committed!
And we appreciate it!

Let’s talk about The Romanoffs. Your character Shelly is really interesting: She’s painfully aware that she’s outside this family tree, and she’s really trying to understand it during the cruise. What you think that we, the audience, are supposed to understand about the Romanoffs from her point of view? 
She goes on a whole journey when she’s on the boat. She’s really self-conscious and dressed up like a princess, and then all the pageantry starts. She’s skeptical, and then she sees it and can’t help but be completely beguiled. It’s magical and fascinating and she lets herself be taken in by it. And then there are some speed bumps along the way — the little people reenacting this crazy thing [the Romanoff assassination] — and she meets people who have this sense of grandiosity about them.

Then she goes with Ivan out on the deck and they talk about how the Romanoff legacy has personally fucked up their lives and their relationships. When she comes back in, and this is one of my favorite moments — it’s a really gentle little quiet thing and no one says anything — but she and Ivan are walking back through the big hall and there’s a singer singing “Those Were the Days.” She understands that feeling of having lost something profound, of that nostalgia and that sense of yearning for the way it was. Which is a very Romanoff thing. It’s also a very human thing. And so it hits her.

When she’s watching the little people perform, it’s like …
Right!?

I was trying to watch your face in that scene because I wanted to see whether Shelly was fascinated or disgusted. 
[Laughs.] The one detail that Matt [Weiner] wrote was, “She goes to take out her phone to take a picture, and then decides against it.” What a great detail. Because then you get to be like, “Am I … I mean this is, I have to … but then … I shouldn’t … ” You know?

When she gets off the boat, she tells her husband, “I really understand you now.” Is that sympathy? Or is she’s now concerned about who he is?
I think she comes back committed to giving it another try. She doesn’t go with Ivan into the room — she leans on the little bit of romance she got, and she’s trying to believe that that’s enough for her. And she thinks she does understand Michael better. But not, clearly, well enough. She understands now that he’s really fucked up, but she doesn’t understand the extent to which he is.

In the end, she’s clearly reinvigorated. Janie [Bryant] did the costumes and I think she’s a genius. My costumes in the whole first part before I go on the cruise make me laugh so hard.

They’re really frumpy!
They’re so hilarious.

When I saw her put on that pink coat, I thought, “Oh, I see.”
I see! I see where she is! They’re trying to find a way to make her still really positive, but the way she looked was supposed to communicate just how depressing this relationship is. Not trying, looks terrible, goes to sleep wearing her “You Had Me at Merlot” shirt. Makes me laugh so hard. I think I have another big nightgown T-shirt that has an owl on it with glasses — it just cracks me up. And then I get to be a little Disney princess on the boat!

How do you feel about the fact that he gets to have an affair with this idealized woman who dances in front of a jukebox, but then your character has to be the restrained one? 
You know, I’m personally all for sex. And I think everybody should have it and women should enjoy it. But Shelly got what she needed. She didn’t need sex — that wasn’t the thing that she was yearning for in her relationship. Michael needed danger and a visceral sexual encounter. Shelly needed emotional intimacy. And you could look at that as being as big a transgression as having sex with somebody else.

Sure, but it still plays into this sense that men need sex and women need an emotional connection, right?
A lot of storytelling in culture, in television, in particular, works that way and trades on stereotype. The things that I’m drawn to are more specific than that. And I don’t know that it’s really helpful for me, playing Shelly, to invest in the idea of her as a capital-W woman. What I love about her is all of the ways that she’s a complete, full, fallible being. I love that she’s got a temper and she’ll let him fucking have it when he needs it. She hides her cigarettes because he doesn’t approve, and she’ll vindictively smoke one. She can kick back and smoke pot with one of her co-workers and have a good time.

So it’s not helpful for me to generalize about what they are in terms of gender politics. I’m obviously interested in playing characters who have autonomy, who drive the story. I always say to myself, If the most interesting thing I get to do is decide whether or not I’m going to hide his gun, I’m not interested. More important to me is, Is this a woman who makes choices? Does she have an interesting, diverse array of behaviors and qualities about her? At the end, we’re left with Shelly and it feels like it was her story all along. I thought we were watching a man misbehaving, and really we were watching a woman discovering her worth.

At the end, there’s never a moment where she thinks, “Wait, did he push me accidentally?” She knows immediately.
[Laughs.] It’s so great. I also don’t know how or why this happened, but when we were filming the scene — she’s just fallen down, she’s trying to pick herself up again — and I just kept saying, “I’m okay! I’m okay. I’m okay! I’m okay!”
