on Showtime), “American Gigolo” is based on the 1980 Schrader film of the same name, starring Richard Gere and Lauren Hutton. The series follows Julian Kaye (Jon Bernthal), a former gigolo who spent 15 years in prison for a murder he didn’t commit. After he’s exonerated, he scrambles to rebuild his life — which includes putting together the puzzle of who framed him for the crime, and also reuniting with his former flame, Michelle Stratton (Mol). “[Jon Bernthal] is fantastic.
He’s a great actor and really a warm kind person,” Mol said. “He’s very collaborative [and] we had a really good time. I was excited about the opportunity to play this woman in two different time periods, and [to] see how the 15 years that the love of her life has been in prison has changed her.
The opportunity to play that time passing in a person, and just a real love affair between these two people, was intriguing to me. This woman falls in love with a gigolo, and all that that entails emotionally.” Mol is no stranger to noir stories or thrillers, having starred in the 1999 film “The Thirteenth Floor,” HBO’s “Boardwalk Empire,” “Perry Mason” and “Yellowstone.” “[The genre] always interests me, because when done well, like Hitchcock, it’s such a fun thing to watch. It’s so compelling and exciting and it keeps you coming back for more,” she said.
