Tropper talked about making sure he was able to get the “ essence of each character” into the movie. After working with him on previous projects, he mentioned that Bateman was like a “ real avatar for these kind of characters.” I personally think he was wonderfully cast and simply the perfect man for the job.Īs we discussed the members of the Altman family, Mr. Speaking of Jason Bateman, I did find it interesting that the only actor that Jonathan Tropper always “ thought of here and there” was Jason. Tropper made it all flow perfectly by “ finessing the characters” well both in print and on the screen. Whereas in print getting into a character’s head can be easy, watching their actions played out on screen can take a very different angle. Considering the novel features so much of Judd’s ( Jason Bateman) inner dialogue, the screenplay had to be adjusted to keep from having too many voice-overs. Therefore, it was a delight to talk with Jonathan Tropper about both the book and the movie.Īfter writing and publishing the book, Jonathan Tropper had the opportunity to also pen the screenplay.

![]() ![]() The Other Two isn’t a dark satire, exactly, but it’s acidic enough to keep its main characters scrambling and desperate and unhappy. The Dubek family appears to be thriving.īut, of course, they’re not. Which is where their mother, Pat ( Molly Shannon), has found herself: over the course of the show’s run, she’s gone from Ohio momager to beloved talk show host and is now an Oprah-styled media mogul, with her very own television network. ![]() His sister, Brooke ( Helené Yorke), is ensconced in the management team of their pop-star brother, Chase ( Case Walker), though feeling the itch for more responsibility-more real work at the center of the entertainment industry. The third season finds struggling actor Cary ( Drew Tarver) struggling just a little bit less: he’s filmed a role in a sorta buzzy indie called Night Nurse and imagines his career will be transformed instantly. It couldn’t have come soon enough, as Chris Kelly and Sarah Schneider’s series-about the family of a Justin Bieber-esque pop idol-is a winsome, riotously funny look at the mechanics of celebrity. After a nearly two-year wait, niche-favorite comedy series The Other Two returns this week (HBO Max, May 4) for its third season. ![]() ![]() ![]() Shapiro is the award-wining, NYT bestselling author of THE MURALIST and THE ART FORGER, both stories of art, mystery and history with a bit of romance thrown in.

The short story form feels very natural to me as a writer and a reader. You will never need to know that character’s name again or that they lived in a house with a green door or had a dog with a limp. With short stories the reader can delete all the files in their brain associated with that story as soon as it’s over. And with each new chapter comes yet more information. ![]() One of the challenges with a novel is the amount of information the reader is expected to take on board and memorise: character names and description, locations, plot developments.
