Jesse Warn chats with Screen Rant about working with Jesse L. Martin on The Flash and The Irrational and the duality the actor brings to Alec Mercer.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary NBC's new procedural, The Irrational, dropped its second episode on October 2nd, centering around the murder of journalist C.J. Wright. However, the case comes with a catch—the victim isn't dead. C.J. reveals that she is suffering from polonium-210 poisoning, and asks Alec to help find the culprit before her inevitable passing.
Jesse Warn: It was such a great coming together of the worlds there with Jesse Martin having been involved in The Flash, and me being involved in The Flash and coming together on this. The short answer is yes, I did get a chance to chat with Jesse prior to the show kicking off. We've obviously worked together before and got along great. I just respect him, not only as an actor but as a person. It was just a real treat for me to be able to work with him again.
I love that Phoebe and Owen had so much screen time in this episode. What do you enjoy most about the dynamic between the research assistants? Jesse Warn: It's a very emotional scene, and I have to say, Molly did a fantastic job. I'll be absolutely honest with you—she came fully loaded when she arrived into that scene. We'd had a little bit of a chat, but Molly had done so much work and put so much thought into the scene. There are certain times when you need to just stand back and let people do what they do so well. Her scene partner was Jesse Martin, who always brings so much into every scene.
Jesse Warn: It's interesting because those scenes were part of a montage without a lot of dialogue, so we had to convey the emotional intensity of those moments without a lot of dialogue and without being able to talk a lot. It had to be in the physical performance and in the facial expressions. The palpable connection they had between each other had to do something visual. That's what we talked about a little bit. In that particular case, you, again, have a couple of fantastic actors.
A lot of the time, Jesse L. Martin is playing a part within a part. Alec needs to convince whoever the criminal is that he can relate to their way of thinking. Is there any kind of balance you work with Jesse to find during these scenes where he needs to come across in exactly the right way?
