There’s something Shakespearean about the character Hope Davis plays on the Showtime drama “Your Honor.” As the wife of a crime boss, “she’s a Lady Macbeth and she’s very frustrated with how her husband is executing things, so she gets her hands dirty,” said Davis. “It’s really delicious to play a character who just doesn’t have a lot of love in her heart. She’s an interesting one.”
Davis stars opposite Michael Stuhlbarg, who she has known for years. “When you play a spouse of someone, you have to go through all sorts of things together, and it’s amazing to be with someone who I feel so safe and comfortable with. But also, truly, I find Michael’s talent really inspiring. He’s just all in. So I feel very lucky to be partnered with him.”
Davis’ resume spans everything from Marvel’s “Captain America: Civil War” to the Shonda Rhimes legal drama “For the People” to HBO’s “In Treatment” and “Succession,” plus films including “About Schmidt” and “American Splendor.”
