Juno Temple has certainly become a favorite with Emmy voters. After three consecutive Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series nominations for Ted Lasso, she switched things up by joining the cast of the fifth season of Fargo and now has been nominated in the uber competitive Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series, Anthology or TV Movie, widely praised for playing the dual parts of Dorothy Dot Lyon aka Nadine Tillman, a survivalist to the extreme as well as nurturing mother. This is all a big departure from playing Keeley in Lasso, but she is definitely up to the assignment.
Temple joins me for the latest episode of my Deadline video series, The Actor’s Side where we talk about her ever growing career, why it was so hard to say goodbye to Ted Lasso after only three seasons, rocking that uniquely midwestern American accent for Fargo, her upcoming turns as Dr. Payne in Venom: Last Dance, as well as just wrapping in South Africa, Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die. Temple has a knack for showing up in high profile projects.
Her first films were the Oscar nominated Notes On A Scandal, Atonement, and The Other Boleyn Girl. We also talk about working on blockbusters, The Dark Knight Rises and Maleficent: Mistress Of Evil, and just how she landed such a juicy role in the Fargo franchise.
