Michael Chiklis was so ignited by his role as a frightened dad who must confront the realities of his troubled son’s behavior in Fox’s anthology series Accused, he decided to come back for more. After starring in what would become the pilot episode, “Scott’s Story”, he told creator Howard Gordon that he’d like to step into the director’s chair. Gordon handed him “Jack’s Story”, another gripping tale that wrestles with the realities of a post-Roe v. Wade world. Chiklis discusses infusing his work with nuance in order to handle two of the most sensitive and current topics in the U.S. for broadcast television.
DEADLINE: Both of your episodes, “Scott’s Story” and “Jack’s Story”, tackle some of the most hotly contested issues in the nation right now. How did it feel working on those stories?
MICHAEL CHIKLIS: Interestingly, it’s both the reason I was attracted to doing it and the reason I was trepidatious to do it. Whenever you’re going to handle this kind of subject matter, it’s incredibly sensitive, and you want to make sure that it’s handled in a particular way that shows tremendous humanity and empathy, and respect. It starts on the page, and Howard Gordon happens to be an excellent writer and his writing staff are fantastic. So when I read the pilot, I honestly was blown away. This is a subject that none of us can avoid in this country. It’s just madness at this point. What I liked [about “Scott’s Story”] is that it puts you as a viewer in this person’s place. At least, it did for me. Imagine if you knew in your gut that your child was mentally ill, and then you found their manifesto. What would you do? How could you respond to that? Especially if you did everything within legal boundaries? I love it when storytelling
