Keri Russell joins the show to talk about her latest role in a new political drama series, The Diplomat. Created by Debora Cahn (The West Wing, Homeland), The series follows Kate Wyler (Keri Russell), a career diplomat who is unexpectedly enlisted to serve as the U.S. ambassador to the United Kingdom in the midst of an international crisis.
Russell explains why she immediately said yes to the part despite the logistical challenges it would require, digs into what she loves about Kate's incredibly nuanced character, and describes what it was like simultaneously working as an executive producer on the series.
She also shares her 11-year-old daughter's hot take on her beloved series Felicity, discusses her long-standing creative relationship with J.J. Abrams, and recounts a few memorable times when fans recognized her on the street.
