'I do consider myself lucky to be a part of something that matters.' Merritt Wever opens up about her chemistry with Toni Collette and the challenges of working on Unbelievable
about playing a fictionalized version of a real detective, her chemistry with Collette and the challenges of working on a show with subject matter that is at the forefront of the political and social conversation.
A conversation at the forefront of the political climate is believing victims of sexual assault. What was the pressure like dealing with a story all about that? I remember the first time that I was asked that question — I think I shrunk from it. I am not used to looking at [my] work and thinking about what I want people to think or feel in response to it. I usually see my job as finding a way to do my side of the work the best I can, and then letting people come to it and have their own response. But I do consider myself lucky to be a part of something that matters.
Speaking of the detectives, in preparing for the role did you reach out to the real detective on whom your character was based? One of my favorite pieces of who she is as a person is that quote she keeps on her dashboard, a passage from Isaiah: "Here I am, send me." I thought that was an incredibly lovely and instructive piece of information. I used it as at least part of the backbone of who she was.
