One, does the character feel different than anything I’ve done before? Two is, do I feel challenged? Is this going to challenge me mentally, creatively? And then three is an exciting filmmaker, cast or crew. What goes into choosing a role for you? How are you considering whether it’s a good role? I think her own confidence is what kind of intimidated me. I don’t think she knows everything she’s talking about, but she will never let her mom know that. Girls like that have always kind of intimidated me, because I’ve never really been as outspoken as Olivia is. Yeah, I think she has a very forceful nature. I think you previously said that you were terrified of your “White Lotus” character Olivia. I hope that will change the future for characters like that. There’s multiple sad and beautiful layers to unpack beneath that. I think with Cassie, one of the things that she knows how to communicate mostly through her body. There’s so much more to these characters. How, if at all, do you think/hope that speaking out about that will shift future narratives about these characters and performances? You’ve been pretty vocal about how proud you are of your work in “Euphoria,” but that you feel like you weren’t taken as seriously until “The White Lotus” because Cassie is a very sexual character by nature. It was a shock and excitement at the same time. I hid under the bleachers and said, “What’s going on Sam?” And he read me the scene of when Nate takes Cassie to the bathroom. I was at a baseball game and Sam called me. I found that out like a month or two after we finished filming Season 1. It was always the plan from the beginning. There’s been some debate about whether Nate and Cassie hooking up was always the plan. “So anything that’s different and new and I haven’t done before is what I’m searching for.”īelow, Sweeney breaks down her performances in “Euphoria” and “The White Lotus” and gives some insight to how she approaches her work - including setting boundaries on set and developing a narrative for each character she plays.Įric Dane on How His ‘Euphoria’ Role as a Toxic Dad ‘Terrified’ Him – in a Good Way “I’m an actor because I want to play so many different roles,” she said. Playing characters on such opposite ends of the spectrum is a dream come true for the actress, who makes a point to look for roles that are unlike anything she’s done before. Olivia is confident, witty and a little intimidating (even to Sweeney). Meanwhile, her turn as Olivia Mossbacher in “The White Lotus” is much more calculated. In Season 2, Cassie is on a downward spiral that culminates in more than one mental breakdown. On “Euphoria,” she plays a teenager who has endured more than her fair share of trauma, and suffers because of it. Her two most recent roles, while both on HBO, couldn’t be more different.
