Why Sam Levinson Wrote Euphoria's Harley for James Landry Hebert (Interview)
<p>If you want to know exactly why Sam Levinson wrote Euphoria's Harley for James Landry Hébert, this exclusive full-episode interview reveals the incredible actor craft behind becoming the nicest bad guy on television. The gritty character actor sits down with Jared Pike and Bo Yokely to reveal how his initial callback audition turned into a custom-written role on the massive HBO hit, exploring the psychology of why the industry constantly trusts genuinely good people to play its most terrifying villains. James takes you deep inside the television industry, breaking down the massive differences between the playful, improv-heavy environment created by Levinson—including shooting intense, unscripted scenes alongside Zendaya—and the strict, script-perfect demands of Taylor Sheridan on 1883. You will not believe the hilarious stories he shares about working with Quentin Tarantino and Brad Pitt on Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, or his terrifying realization that his Tarantino character is actually still alive and out of prison. Watch the entire episode to hear his unbelievable journey from his Louisiana roots to landing the biggest roles in Hollywood, and discover exactly how he makes these dark characters feel completely human!</p><p>#Euphoria #SamLevinson #Zendaya #JamesLandryHebert #HBO</p><p><br></p><p>Chapters:00:00 - The Authentic Way To Pronounce James Landry Hébert00:25 - How Sam Levinson Wrote Euphoria's Harley For Him02:29 - The Tarantino Laugh He Did With Brad Pitt & On Euphoria03:40 - Why Sam Levinson Is His Absolute Favorite Director04:24 - Improv On The Euphoria Set With Zendaya & Chloe Cherry05:15 - Taylor Sheridan's 1883 vs. The Euphoria Set07:06 - Why The "Nicest Bad Guy" Plays The Best TV Villains10:45 - The Absolute Worst Movie Character He Has Ever Played12:19 - Shaking Up His Career In The New Snowfall Spinoff12:57 - The Incredible Story Of Riding His Horse To The Euphoria SetAbout the Opposites Distract Podcast:Opposites Distract is an unfiltered talk show hosted by two insiders from entirely different sides of the mic who rarely agree but always laugh.
