Alongside Darren Mann — the actor behind Jack Dutton — Michelle Randolph spoke to ComingSoon.net about the experience of filming “1923.” She even shared her feelings about working with Helen Mirren, which was something that had her a bit anxious at first. “At first, I was really intimidated, but Helen is so kind, and she makes you feel really comfortable on set…I think that’s a gift about her,” Randolph explained. It’s a good thing they got along well, too, seeing as she and Mirren share a decent amount of screen time together in the first season.
As Randolph built a rapport with Mirren, her preparation for “1923” led her to get quite close with her other co-stars as well. In an interview with Wonderland Magazine, she mentioned that going through a rigorous “cowboy camp” designed to teach the cast some of the things they’d be expected to do on the show was a bonding experience. As she told the publication, “We formed the type of closeness that you do when you’re a kid and you go to summer camp.” Randolph notes that by the time the camp was over and they were ready to shoot, the cast was already exceptionally tight-knit.
With a second season of “1923” on the way, we’ll have to see if Michelle Randolph’s Elizabeth Strafford will get to spend more time in the spotlight, potentially sharing it with Helen Mirren’s Cara Dutton.
