Bryce Dallas Howard interview on her role in Deep Cover
At a recent London event for Prime Video, Bryce Dallas Howard discussed her role in Deep Cover...
Bryce Dallas Howard says: "This was sort of a no brainer for me. It was such a fantastic script. Deep Cover is it's a British action comedy and I'm the lone American in it, not pretending to be British. I get to use my own accent. That's a terrifying thing. I've been that alone American with a bunch of Brits
"Basically, I play a improv comedian who is kind of down on her luck and and she's also a teacher. The she gets recruited to be a part of low level state operations for the cops. And she can bring two of her students into the mission, and is forced to bring two of her worst students, played by Orlando Bloom and Nick Mohammad. One is a guy who's taking improv lessons because he wants to have confidence in his work, and so she goes all these slick operations with them. And they get into a lot a lot of trouble with these criminals, because they keep saying the wrong things.
"It's an absolute blast, and there's so so much energy. It's 99 minutes and is just one of those movies that kind of has everything you want. You end up feeling really satisfied. You know, it's good to be in a comedy. It's healthy."
