We have seen many pictures and videos from the set of Joker, however the one character or actor who has not been seen so far is the one played by Shea Whigham.
So when Collider spoke with Whigham, primarily about the upcoming Amazon Prime series Homecoming, he was asked what he could discuss about the Todd Phillips project. The Boardwalk Empire actor had nothing but good things to say about the film’s star as well as Director Phillips’ take on the iconic character:
“We’re in the middle of it, right now. It’s intense. For me, it’s as good as it gets. I’m flowing back and forth between television and film, and it’s not lost on me, to work with Joaquin [Phoenix] and to see what he’s doing. And Todd Phillips has put this amazing script together It’s the origin story. People haven’t seen how the Joker becomes the Joker, and oh, my God, man, it’s incredible. It really is.
Naturally, Whigham couldn’t reveal too much, however he did say where he and fellow cast mate Bill Camp fit into the story:
I’ll say this, Bill Camp, from The Night Of, is one of our great actors. He’s finally getting his due. He and I play two cops from Gotham P.D., in 1981 when the city was tough. We’re investigating something that’s just happened, at the start of the piece. We’re trying to get to the bottom of it, and it leads to where it leads to. You know, it’s rare that I’ve been on a set where it feels like it crackles. It’s pretty amazing . . .I want to have an experience. I don’t call it a job. I don’t say that I have a job. I have a gig, or a piece, or a film, or a show, but it’s never a job . . . We’re having an experience on Joker.
With the amount of pictures and videos being circulated, it is only a matter of time before we see Shea Whigham and Bill Camp on set. With each passing day, excitement grows as more and more is learned about Todd Phillip’s vision of The Joker. Are you ready to see the finished product?
