The Deadline ‘Contenders’ television event on Saturday [9th April] featured ‘The Offer’.
Sadly no Matthew Goode on the panel but Anthony D’Alessandro [Editorial Director of Deadline] made sure Goodey got some love for his work. I did a rough transcript of the main points of the discussion with Nikki Toscano [Exec Producer and Writer of ‘The Offer’] about Matthew.
Anthony: “We can’t walk away today without talking about how very good Matthew Goode is. I mean as Robert Evans he had me at the glasses. How did you know he could pull it off? I mean how does this happen?….”
Nikki: “Yes, Matthew is absolutely incredible. I think that when we were having these original casting conversations… It was finding somebody who could capture,… not only is Matthew incredibly good looking but on top of it, the charisma of Robert Evans. So… we had him in mind. We had no idea though that he was going to bring this level of performance. He wasn’t impersonating Robert Evans, he was truly capturing his essence and you feel it in his performance.”
Anthony: “There will be a Robert Evans Paramount + mini-series right? Tell me there will be?”
Nikki: *Laughs* “We’ll see.”

Matthew Goode tells us about playing Producer Robert Evans.
Goode: “I would suggest that Bob Evans was pretty well known. I found it quite terrifying when Dexter and Nikki gave me the job. I felt a lot better when I was doing my scenes with Marlon Brando (Justin Chambers). That actually gave me a lot of comfort. I was like, ‘I’m up against him, but let’s see what you’ve got pal!’. There’s an awful lot you can find on the internet. As Bob himself said, ‘There’s always your version, the other person’s version and then the truth.’. Even just the foreword of his book by Peter Bart, there’s a really interesting idea to play a character we don’t really know much about, which I thought Josh (Zuckerman) did brilliantly. Even in the foreword it gives you quite a bit of information. I found out a lot by talking to people in Hollywood and they’d go, ‘Hey, he used to go to the same hairdresser as me, this, that and the other…’. All the stories, considering there’s a lot of contentious stuff about his history, most of these people would say ‘He was the nicest, he was the kindest, he was the most generous’, and perhaps his downfall was due to his more angel side than his darker side.”.

Alex Zalben from ‘Decider’ also tweeted from the session:-
Matthew Goode didn't understand why they wanted him to play Bob Evans in THE OFFER, given he didn't look anything like him. Happily, lockdown gave him the opportunity to really study Evans and get a sense of his character. #TCA22

Dexter Fletcher responds to the idea of whether everyone is doing impressions on the show, saying that Matthew Goode isn't doing an impression of Bob Evans. "It's about getting the essence of a person." #TCA22

Matthew Goode talks about Bob Evans' eyeglasses, calling them "iconic." Juno Temple had a friend who bought a real pair of Bob Evans' glasses that had "bite marks, all up and down the arms." Goode took advantage of that, and will bite glasses in moments of stress #TCA22
