The Ratliff family is made up of your character, Piper, her two brothers Lochlan (Sam Nivola) and Saxon (Patrick Schwarzenegger), and her parents Timothy (Jason Isaacs) and Victoria (Parker Posey). What was it like to work closely with this talented group of actors? 

I’ll get specific with you and go down the list because I’m on a train right now and have the time:

Mike would always say to Jason, “You’re so facile,” and I understood exactly what he meant: Jason effortlessly and naturally packed a punch in every scene, every take. He is flexible, selfless, and always keeps the energy up (even when playing someone completely drugged out). I genuinely think he’s one of the greatest actors of our time.

Parker is everything you’d imagine and more. Her uniqueness and singularity seep through every take, every conversation, every encounter—there is no one like Parker Posey.

Patrick was, and still is, the one who astounds us the most every time. In real life, he’s relaxed, easygoing, and lovable, but he completely transformed into Saxon, building a fully realized character—all while laughing and having fun.

Sam Nivola might be the most special boy in the whole wide world. It’s impossible not to love him, and the amount of talent and wisdom packed into that kid shouldn’t even be allowed!

Clearly, I adore and admire them all.
