She also did an interview where she mentioned she learned sign language in college because she could relate to being in an environment where no one is forced to understand you or to help you navigate in the world because they don't have to. She worked at the movie theater and a deaf customer came in and bought popcorn. Dominique didn't know she was deaf and spoke to her asking if she wanted butter on her popcorn, and the lady said she didn't understand because she's deaf, so Dominique signed to her and the woman was in shock that she communicated in ASL to her. Dominique is a special woman.

@@jga8170 not on the same stratus as Jennifer Garner in fame. She is the only lady at that table who has successfully been a lead in a number of hit movies on her own back as the sole billable star. She also was under intense media glare with her marriage to Ben Affleck as well as was the lead in a wildly popular now cult status abc drama for six years. You may not like Jennifer Garner as an actress, but to try and equate the highly talented actresses at this table to her level of fame is just inaccurate. While Jennifer Coolidge and Clare Danes are very popular and well known actresses, they do not have the media attention, salary power, or roles offered to them that Garner had.

melanie lynskey being genuinely so interested and engaged the entire time is everything
Emma D'Arcy is so talented and has an amazing personality.
emma mentioned that they don't exist well and was often bullied and i immediately burst out into tears relating to that statement
Oh gosh, I loved everything about this interview. From Emma's relatability every time they spoke, Garner's kindness and sweetness, Dominique's disarming yet beautiful wisdom, Claire's openness and vulnerability, Coolidge's wittiness and unmatched humor to the way Melanie could relate to each of them and engage them while answering the questions --- It was nothing less than perfection. Bravo!

Dominique was not just great at her role, she was INCREDIBLE. Honestly, one of the best series I've ever watched.
Melanie is so underrated. I know when I see her in a show, it's going to be awesome. I trust her as an actress to sell any role.

Jennifer Garner radiates kindness and positivity. Her interaction with Emma felt very genuine.
I'm excited to see where Dominique Fishback's career will take her. She's been trained well and to have a therapist on set is a genius idea. The same with Emma D'Arcy. I know there are more projects heading their way.

This is the first round table I've ever watched where I found NO ONE annoying. There's usually always one, but this was a lovely table of humans.
Emma D’Arcy is such a inspiration for all the gender fluid people out there… the way they speak about their experience of being targeted for their appearance and the phrase where they says, “i just didn’t exist well,” was pretty hard breaking to know but they play the central character on one of the biggest show on TV. It really shows that if it meant to be than it’ll be, the hard work and struggle does lead you to success.

It's a great source for actors. I hope Emma can navigate a space between being in those worlds because they are the most exciting actor I have seen for a long time. I love their quiet stillness, it's very powerful. I am always going to be interested in their work.

I wish the mediator would have asked Emma and Melanie what it's like playing the grown-up versions of their respective characters. Kind of a compare and contrast discussion. Also discussed their characters' relationships with their bestfriend turned enemy for Emma (Rhaenerya) it would be Alicent Hightower and Melanie(Shauna) Jackie
Dominuque is so interesting and cool. I love her energy and what she had to say. This is one of my favorite roundtables thus far. Everyone was so important and great to hear from!!
Please excuse my ignorance, but I did not know that Melanie Lynskey is from New Zealand! She plays American parts so brilliantly.
Emma playing Rhaenyra Targaryen as a mother was was a perfect match to Milly playing younger rhaenyra ♥️🐉 I was expecting Emma to be asked about her being a mother, her child birth and stillborn scenes from the show! With a table full of actresses that whole topic should have been in the conversation I think Emma would have talked more about being a nonbinary actress in Hollywood and what it’s like playing that character on the show
It's really interesting how Claire says she's never had a chance to do comedy, because there is a lot of humour in even her most serious of roles and I think she'd be great at that. I've been lobbying for Melanie and Natasha Lyonne to do a show together [see their recent 'Actors on Actors' to see what chemistry they have] and I think Claire would be a great addition to that cast. Alternatively, sign her up for S2 of Poker Face.

This is one of the most insightful round tables you’ve had on. Honest conversations and experiences shared with actresses who haven’t been afforded it outside a private space.
Claire Danes really displayed the tact and wisdom of an actress who’s been in the business for a while.
This Roundtable is fire. Lacey is a great moderator because she knows when to sit back and let the participants take control; and these participants are so genuinely curious about each other that it spurs organic conversation. Chef's kiss.

Wow. That was incredible. I cried at one point. Successful women having frank, authentic, vulnerable conversations and at times offering guidance, advice, encouragement and admiration, I mean what is better than that? Just beautiful!!
Dominique Fishback is so talented ❤❤❤
I loved hearing the discussion about therapist on set! I’ve been a therapist almost 30 years -an Art Therapist and creative- and have been fortunate enough to do a lot of local film work (whether acting, writing, general PA or makeup) and on one independent set I was helping out with makeup and was able to step in and help an actor who was under a lot of pressure and near a panic attack. It felt great to help given the director was also stressed to get the shot and losing light and it was beginning to create a larger problem. It made me see the potential need and have wished I could do more. From character development, to the need to be self aware and present in the moment, I am struck by the overlap of becoming a therapist and developing a high capacity for emotional regulation, finely tuned listening and empathy, with the craft of acting and the demands of being on set-especially if you’ve got to be vulnerable, remember lines, work long hours under high stress conditions and go deeply into material that may demand personal healing and growth and mirrors truth to the rest of us. Love these talented women!
Love both Jennifers, Emma and Melanie but Dominique is seriously one to watch, her acting is great. I love how they are all just giving each other tips.
I love the first question, and often thing about how I would approach someone like that. For Melanie Lynskey, my mind immediately goes to Ever After. Loved that entire cast.
Great roundtable. Have always loved Claire. Such a talent. “Danes is one of the most exciting actresses to appear in 10 years. I don't really understand why she's captured my heart. She just has an amazing honesty to her presence." Steven Spielberg, director

It’s really amazing every time. And also seeing little tips that they try to pass on it’s so cool.
