Today, Jack is joined by Robert Wisdom, who plays Jed Haverford in _The Terminal List: Dark Wolf._
In this episode, Robert and Jack talk about Jed’s role in _Dark Wolf,_ from Robert’s first impressions reading the scripts to the opening scene that helped define the character. They discuss what drew Robert to the role, why he wanted the performance to come from the gut, and how Jed can smile, charm, and recruit while still feeling like the most dangerous man in the room.
They also get into the twists behind the story, how the series leaves breadcrumbs for what is coming, and the tension between mentor, mastermind, and operator working in the shadows of the CIA. Along the way, they discuss the boat scene, the rooftop recruiting scene in Budapest, the final moments of the season, and the impact of filming in Washington, D.C., including in front of the CIA Memorial Wall.
Robert also reflects on the moral conflict of playing Jed and on how actors can elevate material beyond the page. He also shares his early path into acting, from college track and deferred law school to theater, NPR, and the career turns that set him on this road.
This is a companion podcast to _The Terminal List: Dark Wolf_ on Prime Video, taking listeners deeper into the story, characters, and creative process behind the series.
