“In my early to late 20s, I was still struggling to think, ‘Is this something that I could do for the rest of my life, or am I eventually going to have to grow up and get a proper job?’” he recalled. “I think sometimes you could miss huge elements of your career by worrying about what the next job is.”
Dominic went on to say that he rarely watches his on-screen work, explaining: “It’s just not something I do. I lived those things so completely, I don’t need to repeat them to have the experience.”
He admitted that it’s been about 15 years since he’s seen one of the Lord of the Rings films, adding that he’d never actually watched an episode of Lost.
“I’m aware that it was a good show and I’m aware that clearly people are continuing to like it now,” he said of the series, which premiere on ABC in 2010 and ran for six seasons. “People will come over to me on the street and they’ve written, ‘Not Penny’s Boat’ on their hand or people will tell me that it was their favorite character or that their kids have just got into it.”
“It’s certainly found an audience and continues to do so,” Dominic continued. “It became kind of a piece of pop culture. I was happy to be involved in a show that for a while there was the biggest TV show in the world.”

Michelle Monaghan found herself pulling not just double duty playing twins Leni and Gina in Netflix’s twisty new mystery drama “Echoes,” but quadruple duty as she portrayed the women playing each other after they switched lives once a year.The show, which is ready to become your next Netflix weekend binge, kicks off when Leni, who is living Gina’s life with Gina’s husband Charlie (Daniel Sunjata) in Los Angeles, gets a call from Leni’s true husband Jack (Matt Bomer), who tells her that Leni (who is actually Gina) is missing. And if all that sounds complicated, it was, but Monaghan worked to put in subtle details in her portrayals of the sisters.“It was really, really important, obviously, to individuate these personas, these women,” Monaghan said.
Caroline Framke Chief TV CriticIt’s all too easy to understand the appeal of a show like “Echoes” to a streaming service like Netflix. From creator Vanessa Gazy and showrunners Quentin Peeples and Brian Yorkey (“13 Reasons Why”), “Echoes” feels like “Firefly Lane” and “Behind Her Eyes” collided to create a melodrama as deeply strange as it is quickly ingestible. Its seven episodes fly by fast enough to distract from the fact that they only barely make sense.

Brad Pitt has a “shit list” of actors he’d never work with, according to his Bullet Train co-star Aaron Taylor-Johnson.In a recent interview with Variety, Taylor-Johnson spoke about his experience of working with Pitt, describing him as a “humble and gracious human being”.“He just wants to bring light and joy into the world and be around people who are there to have a good time,” Taylor-Johnson explained.“You work with many actors and after a while, you start making notes, ‘I am definitely not working with this person ever again.’ Brad has this list too: the good list and the shit list.”One actor who clearly resides on Pitt’s “good list” is Sandra Bullock, who also features in the recently released action-thriller Bullet Train.Pitt had previously told The Daily Mail: “Sandy is an old friend. She’s a diehard person I could call for favours over the years and I have done many times, and she’s always there.“Her timing was great, she was a great person to have in my ear in a situation like that, which is actually kind of intimate.”Bullet Train marks the pair’s second collaboration this year, with Pitt previously appearing in Bullock’s action-adventure movie The Lost City, which also starred Channing Tatum and Daniel Radcliffe.In June, Pitt suggested that he was on the “last leg” of his acting career, with his eye now turning to roles behind the camera.“I consider myself on my last leg,” He told GQ.
