Harbour and his wife, the British musician and actor Lily Allen, have two stories about how they met: the fake, pointedly acceptable story that they ran into each other backstage at a talk show, and the truth, that they found one another on the ultra-exclusive dating app Raya. “ when he explains his process it sounds like nonsense to me.” “He’s an extraordinary actor who I’m captivated and fascinated by,” Harbour says, entirely earnestly. Not only is that stuff silly, it’s dangerous, and it actually doesn’t produce good work.”Daniel Day-Lewis, of course, is the preeminent, respectable example. “When I was younger - it’s so embarrassing - but I remember playing that famous Scottish King,” he recalls, “And being like, ‘I’m gonna kill a cat’ or something: ‘I’m gonna go murder something to know what it feels like to murder.’ I didn’t actually do it, obviously. “I’m very much trained in classical American method acting,” he says, before diving into a two-minute-long, eloquent historical explainer, from Stanislavski (the Russian father of performance theory, essentially) to later practitioners at the Actor’s Studio in New York. Harbour has previously dismissed The Method, the contemporary acting style du jour, but I’m curious to know whether he’s ever tried it.

“I have this Santa Claus movie coming out for Universal in December” - Violent Night, which purports to be exactly what it sounds - “and I gained. “I don’t think I’ll ever do that again,” he says. He got into intermittent fasting and Pilates, shedding it all in eight months to strike his labour camp figure. “I lost about 80 pounds from season three - I was about 270, and when we shot I was around 190,” Harbour recalls. As one might expect, months of eating mouldy bread and gruel brings about drastic change in Hopper’s physique. When we meet Hopper again in the fourth season, he’s locked up in a Soviet gulag shot on location in an ex-Nazi prison in Lithuania, having miraculously survived a massive explosion at the end of season three (it was a bit of a fakeout, truth be told, with the audience led to believe he was dead until a suggestive post-credits scene). It’s also something that has found an odd echo in Stranger Things. But I’ve been having that dream since I was 11 or 12.” After an experience like that, you really don’t need all that much. But the great thing about that, though, is every day on the outside is a good one. Looking for the right noun, I ask: does his fear relate to that moment of incarceration? “I’d definitely call it that,” he says. After an episode that saw his parents send him to a mental institution at 26 years old, he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Yeah, “Et Tu, Brute?” was a real good one.Harbour has spoken extensively about his lifelong struggles with “so-called mental health,” as he often puts it. And SHE had masterminded not just petty revenge against Lucious, but the complete and thorough takeover of Empire itself! It was an earned and shocking turn for a show that had been flirting dangerously close to ho-hum for weeks now. SHE was the mysterious life partner Mimi Whiteman (LOL) had been exchanging fraught phone calls with. But the Camilla reveal was among the biggest, most satisfying shockers this show’s ever pulled off. Do you know how rare that is for Empire? Generally something will be set up and then paid off within ten minutes before moving onto something else.
The most impressive part of this week’s Fall finale was that it capitalized on elements it set-up many episodes ago. Well, Christmas came early this year: “Et Tu, Brute?” was exactly the fix we’d been fiending for! No, a plotline about acquiring a streaming service wasn’t cutting it, and neither was a Pepsi tie-in. But Season 2 hasn’t been quite so satisfying, and now many of us are ambling around trembling just looking for that next fix.
