On the fourth episode of 'The Regime,' Grant finally appears as Edward Keplinger, chancellor Elena's liberal predecessor. The actor stopped by Still Watching to discuss his brief stint on the series and reuniting with Winslet after almost three decades.
It surprised even Grant when he realized that over the course of his four-decade career, he’d never perished on camera before The Regime. “I had no idea how to do it,” Grant told Still Watching hosts Hillary Busis and Chris Murphy. Though the scene is gripping, the famously curmudgeonly actor was less convinced by his own performance. “I said, Stephen , I think I’m going to be shit. He said, ‘No, no, it’s wonderful.
” Grant imagined that Keplinger and Elena had a complicated past together, perhaps even actual love lost between the two. “I always had as a back story that he’d probably had an affair with Elena years ago, at university or something, but that maybe he hasn’t been a great success in bed,” says Grant. “I think that Keplinger might be a bit lapsang souchong between the sheets, and was a bit jealous of Zubak, who probably isn’t.
