Not that a single person asked, so this is mostly for me to look back on, thought I'd highlight a few of my favourite parts of the Defending Jacob cast and crew Q&A last night. (Mostly Chris anecdotes because that's just how my brain works)
Defending Jacob Cast and Creator Q&A from the Variety Streaming Room - NOTABLE PARTS.
The moderators intro; “... and Chris Evans who is also an executive producer on this show” he’s always so coy; the little eyebrow raise, soft smile and tender nod.Â
“KIDS CHOICE AWARDS...just, come on, be fair” dork.Â
his laugh!
“If ThIs GuY CaN Do It AnYbODy CAn dO It” BABY BOY.Â
The way everyone involved rightfully finds him HILARIOUS.Â
Jenelle (to Jaeden): “Did you watch Chris’ previous work to sort of prepare?” Chris: *eyebrow raise and soft exhale* “I HOPE NOT” cue dorky laughter (that LAUGH) and arm folding...biceps...sir, biceps do you have a licences for those weapons.Â
He’s literally this close to launching himself off that seat with laughter.Â
HAND KINK ACTIVATED. his gestures when he talks...please.Â
Cherry Jones just grinning the whole time he’s talking about what attracted him to the role is an accurate representation of me.Â
Did I mention his laugh??
Michelle is bloody cute too btw.Â
Idk if you knew but Chris’ house was only 20 minutes from set...Can’t take the boy from his home.Â
I love that he loved the whole atmosphere on set so much, hope it makes it all easier for him when he’s so comfortable.Â
“DID YOU WIN DOUBLES” truly an excitable baby.Â
H.I.S.  L.A.U.G.H.Â
“That’s not true at all” for a man that’s so self deprecating he’s such a champion for making other people aware of how special they are. soft.
OMG. His little excited :O face when Jaeden say’s he only told his Mom a week or so ago about whether he decided if Jacob was guilty or not.
I’m glad he mentioned the courtroom scenes because his talent in those is phenomenal.Â
CONDUCIVE...what a great word.Â
“...the art came first” HIS PASSION.
“...it really ended up feeling like a potter’s wheel” I am so enamoured by his comparisons and analogies. also; his accent.Â
“...It’s a beautiful way to do what we do” I love that he clearly loved this whole project, cast, crew, the process. It’s an incredible piece of work and he should be so proud of himself (as should everyone else involved).Â
“My life’s a big, dumb comedy” We love an idiot
Echoing everyone finding him hilarious, as they should.Â
A FEW MORE THINGS I WANT TO MENTION:Â
Chris’ hair and beard at present are top tier, a superior look.Â
I want to Cherry Jones to be an honorary member of my family
Chris always gives such deep, intelligent answers and I am obsessed with the way his mind works.Â
I love how much their dynamic shows in this interview, it’s the most fun interview so far (in my opinion) and I would love to see some footage of them all on set joking around with each other - and obvs some footage of them having fun at Chris’ place, but, beggars can’t be choosers lol. Â
Anyway, I know noobdy asked but I really enjoyed this and would encourage anyone who hasn’t seen it to watch it. It’s fun and interesting to hear about the process from Morten and Mark too. I’ve linked the interview that’s been very kindly uploaded to YouTube.Â
