Max Minghella Had to Mask His Insecurities to Play Industry’s Tom Ripley

Last Sunday’s episode, the second-to-last of the season, showed Whitney desperately trying – and failing – to find a way out of his situation. He attempted to escape, but his colleagues threatened him. His plan to buy another company to mislead investigators also fell through, even though he gave a passionate speech trying to convince everyone it would work. Meanwhile, his business partner, Henry Muck (played by Kit Harrington), despises him, and Henry’s wife, Yasmin (Marissa Abela), is secretly working to destroy the company from within. Actor Max Minghella, known for his roles in The Handmaid’s Tale and The Social Network, portrays Whitney as completely stunned – he can’t accept that his good fortune has ended, because he’d never considered it luck in the first place. Minghella enjoyed playing Whitney at his lowest point, finding it surprisingly relatable. “I’m much closer to that vulnerable side of Whitney as a person,” he explains, “and it was easy for me to tap into those feelings.”

Towerborne Review

Towerborne is a cooperative, side-scrolling action RPG where you fight your way through levels. The core gameplay involves completing stages, gaining experience to improve your character, unlocking new abilities and finding better gear. You can then upgrade your equipment at a forge to become more powerful. Each level has a suggested power level, making it a game focused on collecting loot, but it’s not as intensely focused on gear grinding as games like Nioh or Borderlands.
