Andy Samberg says he had to "unlearn his instincts" for his first dramatic role as a war photographer in Lee

Andy Samberg as David Scherman in Lee.

When you think of a harrowing war movie, Andy Samberg may not be the first actor to jump to mind on a potential call sheet. He was for Lee star and producer Kate Winslet, though, who wanted the Brooklyn 99 and Palm Springs actor to join her in her new film about the Vogue war photographer Lee Miller. 

Lee is being touted as Samberg's first 'serious' role, but how does he feel about that categorization and the way it separates his comedic and dramatic work? "It's definitely the most dramatic thing I've acted in. I mean, there's not laugh points, really. I think it's a fair thing to say, because I did have to approach it differently," Samberg tells the Inside Total Film podcast and GamesRadar+ when we sit down with him in London.
