Summary
So, Refiners, as you've probably figured out...I don't do a lot of interviews. It's not that I don't like doing them, I just don't know anyone. PLUS, I've been really busy breaking down every episode second-by-second. I didn't have a lot of extra time to be tracking down actors and others.
I was pleasantly surprised to receive a note from a guy named Marc Geller telling me how much he was enjoying the podcast. Yeah, ha-ha...I get it...he's using the same name as the guy who plays Kier. Very clever! Only, turns out...this really WAS the guy playing Kier!!
Marc was doing a play in Washington D.C. the first part of this year. Marc was away from home, away from his family and bored when he wasn't on stage. He happened to come across the "Severed" podcast during his downtime. Since he was a part of "Severance" he was, of course, interested in the topic. He really enjoyed the podcast and that's how I wound up with the note.
There was no way I was going to let the guy who plays Kier send me e-mail and NOT talk about the show! We had to work around his schedule...and an extension to the D.C. play...but we were able to get together and discuss The Brilliant One. I hope you enjoy it!!
As a BONUS, I also was contacted by a refiner who worked on the "Severance" support team at York Studios in the Bronx. She was trying to give me a wrap gift, I wouldn't let her off the hook until she talked to me about doing COVID support at York. The second half of today's show is my discussion with podcast listener and former "Severance" support staffer Katherine Shea.
It's a relaxed one today, Refiners. We'll pull out the red rubber ball and have a few deviled eggs. The quarter turned out well...you deserve this!!

| 0:29.2 | Hello. Hello there, refiners, and welcome back to Severed, the Ultimate Severance podcast. |
| 0:34.2 | Our quarter may be over, but that doesn't mean things have stopped down on the severed floor. |
| 0:39.4 | The work is mysterious, it's important. And it continues. Just recently, |
| 0:44.5 | I was lucky enough to get to talk to one of the most unique cast members in the severance ensemble. His name is Mark Geller, and he portrays Keir Egan wherever you see him throughout the show. |
| 0:51.5 | A picture, a sculpture, a painting, an old voice recording. Mark is |
| 0:56.0 | everywhere throughout the show, and we're talking to him. I actually caught a small mistake in the |
| 1:02.9 | severance credits as I was prepping for this intro. It led to some interesting additional information. |
| 1:08.9 | On IMDB, Mark receives an episode credit for eight of the nine |
| 1:13.2 | season one severance episodes. The only one where he didn't have a credit was episode five, |
| 1:18.5 | the grim barbarity of optics and design. I did a quick scan through the episode to find out why. |
| 1:23.5 | The only cure picture we get in grim barbarity is the courtship picture with the stewman working the kettle in the ether factory. |
| 1:33.4 | I thought, well, I guess the stewman must not be based on Mark Geller's likeness. |
| 1:38.8 | I asked Mark about it in a follow-up text and he said, no, that's also him. |
| 1:44.2 | But the stewman image is not based on Mark's cure photo shoot. |
| 1:49.3 | You'll hear about the photo shoot in our interview. |
| 1:51.7 | This is where Mark came through with some really cool behind the scenes info. |
| 1:57.2 | The stewman is based on a picture Mark gave them of himself when he was younger with mustache and everything. |
| 2:05.7 | Mark gave them several pictures. |
| 2:08.7 | He told me he is also the basis for the pictures of Kier as a child. |
| 2:14.3 | The image in the youthful convalescence of Ker is based on a picture of Mark as a kid. |
