Matthew Lillard reveals why Principal Grail forced him to ditch his scenery-chewing instincts, and Amber Midthunder explains how Rita grew far beyond the page.
A quick, candid conversation about the faculty at the center of Mike Flanagan's Carrie on Prime Video.

Anthony Orlando sits down with Amber Midthunder and Matthew Lillard, stars of Amazon's new series Carrie, to talk about Lillard's second Mike Flanagan project after The Life of Chuck, his restrained take on Principal Grail as a grounded force for good, and whether Grail really managed the chaos engulfing the school. Midthunder digs into Rita, a character Flanagan expanded well beyond Stephen King's novel, and the two gently disagree over whether the show's characters are selfish or simply desperate people doing their best. They close on Flanagan's clear respect for teachers and educators.
