Almost halfway through the fourth season of The Americans, Agent Dennis Aderholt, aka actor/director Brandon J. Dirden, has taken a more prominent role. Through nefarious means, we were able to spirit Brandon to an undisclosed location and interrogate him to find out exactly what he knows about what is going on! We talk with him about his career, how he got the role of Agent Aderholt, his approach to the part, interactions with other cast members, and spoiler-free comments about what is coming up!

Plus, we chat about his role as Martin Luther King, Jr. in the hit play All The Way in which he co-starred with “Breaking Bad’s” Bryan Cranston, and we preview his upcoming role in Baz Lurhman’s upcoming Netflix original series “The get Down” airing in August.
