This is the second time Mortimer has worked with Butterfield and she commented on his performance in '10,000 Saints.'

“He’s an incredible actor. You take one look at him on screen and those blues, it’s just like, he kind of is cinema in a way,” said Mortimer.

The conversation led to her sitcom on HBO, 'Doll & Em' in which Mortimer heads to Hollywood, closely followed by best friend Dolly Wells as her assistant. Wells is her life long best friend.

We joked about if Mortimer and Wells argued over who would shag Ewan McGregor in season two.

“I did get a little bit jealous on the set when she (Dolly) was making out with Ewan McGregor,” said Mortimer.

In 1997, she began appearing in commercials at age 26, and then made the giant leap into movies. Her recurring role in Scary Movie and the sequel Scary Movie 2 exhibited the 30-year-old's ability to maintain her youthful appearance, as she portrayed the high-school-aged Brenda Meeks.

Joel Edgerton Gets Under Your Skin In ‘The Gift’

'The Gift,' a psychological thriller starring Jason Bateman, Rebecca Hall, and Joel Edgerton comes out this Friday, August 7. Edgerton wrote, directed, produced, and plays the creepy ‘Gordo’ in the film.

“I think the big key of a psychological thriller is getting under the audience’s skin in a way that nothing is what it seems. That the question marks are constantly there. Their turning corners every second, thinking I know what’s around the bend and giving them a surprise. In a way that is very socially resonant and has a real domestic feel. That is a journey for them that is unavoidably scary because it is something that could happen in their life,” said Edgerton on what elements make up a good psychological thriller.

Edgerton also talked about his next film 'Black Mass' and how he had a front row seat for Johnny Depp’s performance. We jokingly talked about Owen Lars showing up in an Obi Wan Kenobi solo film and how he should be more of a bad-ass instead of a moisture farmer.
