“1923” just wrapped up its first season on Paramount+ and it was a doozy.Not only did the feud between Harrison Ford’s Jacob Dutton and Timothy Dalton’s Donald Whitfield reach a boiling point (which is really something considering everything that’s already come before) but the seemingly never-ending journey of Brand Sklenar’s Spencer Dutton and Julia Schlaepfer’s Alexandra to return to the ranch hit a major setback when they run into Alexandra’s ex-fiancé and he challenges Spencer to a duel.TheWrap spoke to Sklenar about what it was like filming the finale, including a supernatural encounter with a ghost while on the Queen Mary, whether he knows where his character is headed (hopefully towards some scenes with Harrison Ford) and, of course, we get into the issue of John Dutton’s true lineage. (The finale did offer some helpful clues.)Major spoilers for the season finale of “1923” follow.
If you haven’t watched yet, time to get on your horse and bemoan the lack of hitching posts. This article will be here when you get back!Season 1 is done. How are you feeling?Pretty damn good.
This finale hits so hard. And it’s been quite a quite a journey just from an audience standpoint, just watching it from that perspective.
It’s been pretty wild.Last time we spoke, it seemed like Spencer and Alexandra were going to get back to the ranch in maybe the next episode. But you’re still not back yet. What’s it like having gone on this whole adventure away from the other actors?It’s funny, because as actors, I think we were on the same journey as the audience, getting these episodes and waiting to see what’s happening and going, “Man, why don’t we get in there? What’s going on?” And Taylor would just constantly be putting another obstacle

“Sorry I’m a few minutes late, I’m just trying to situate my lap dog,” apologizes Brendan Fraser from his upstate New York home. “Isn’t it funny in this age of Zoom, we can’t pretend we’re not at home anymore,” he laughs.
When Kerry Condon heard her Oscar nomination announced in the early hours of the morning in LA, she was clustered around the television with a group that included her Banshees of Inisherin co-star Colin Farrell. “I remember thinking, ‘Oh Jesus, hang on though. What if it’s bad for one of us?’” Condon says. Fortunately, neither actor was left out in the cold. Making Banshees was a chance for the actress to reunite with writer-director Martin McDonagh, in whose plays and the film Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri she had already starred. The Banshees character of Siobhán lets Condon show us her chops — from a scene in which she gently lets down the amorous but tortured young Dominic (Barry Keoghan), to telling Brendan Gleeson’s bull-headed Colm (and men in general), “You’re all feckin’ boring!” Here, Condon reflects on her career thus far and some of her onscreen favorites.

Brendan Fraser is looking sharp on the red carpet.
