From KCRW Santa Monica and KCRW.com, it's The Treatment.

It's The Treatment.

It's The Treatment. I'm Elvis Mitchell. You can also hear this show of KCRW.com. When we think of what used to be called Peak TV,

I guess it's now just really good television,

shows such as Mad Men or Top of the Lake

or The Handmaid's Tale come to mind.

And what these shows all have in common,

and a lot of other really good things, too,

such as movies by Alex Ross Perry,

is my guest, Elizabeth Moss,

who's starring in and producing the FX series,

The Veo. First of all, thank you so much for doing this. Thank you. Thank you for having me.

I'm a fan of yours in this podcast, so excited to be here. So often in these things that we talk about,

you're playing characters who are keeping a bit of a secret, they're

keeping some parts of themselves away from us. I'm wondering what it is that attracts you so often

to characters like that who are keeping parts of themselves hidden away. I think it's just as simple as

you never want to play one thing, right? So as an actor, you're always looking for the duality. You're always looking

for what's on the surface and what's inside. And so material where your character actually has a

secret or where your character actually has a hidden life or something they're not saying,

just makes that much easier.

You know, so I think it's just because for me, I've always want to be playing more than one

thing at the same time.
