COLLIDER: It’s so nice to meet you.
JENNIFER COOLIDGE: Nice to meet you.
I loveBest in Show, but I’m excited to talk aboutRiff Raff.
So let’s dive in.
I mean, anything.
I would play anyone onThe Bear.
I was going to sayThe Bearbecause I know you had a great conversation with Jeremy.
COOLIDGE: Yeah, I did.
I mean, I would be up forWhite Lotus3.
I mean, I feel like, some of the shows are just so advanced.
I don’t know.
Like, I wonder if I could actually do any of them, you know?
They have like 18 monologues each episode each, you know?
And they all managed to do it.
I thought your character Ruth was very tough yet fragile.
I thought you just balance the vulnerability and the comedic parts really, really well.
COOLIDGE: No, I didn’t.
I didn’t have any process!
And then, you know, her later years were very depressing.
I don’t know.
Just all that kind of stuff I could relate to.
If you want a part, you might play someone who doesn’t have anything that you have.
And, you know, there’s no similarity.
I felt like I knew that woman.
I feel like probably the most revealing scene was with Ed Harris' Vincent in the garage.
And she’s living in the past.
And just how did you collaborate with Ed leading up to that?
COOLDIGE: Well, it was sort of funny.
But yeah, I somehow was able to get through the scene.
Yeah, I was thrilled I got to work with him.
Yeah, it’s a great cast.
And it’s interesting to me that you get so intimidated because you wouldn’t, you know.
You fit right in.
You were really great in this role.
Do you feel like you intimidate people when you go onto set?
COOLIDGE: Not a chance.
Well, I mean, you’re fantastic.
And I’ve been so excited to see all your success.
I have to wrap, but congrats onRiff Raff.
COOLIDGE: Thank you!
I really enjoyed this film.
Yeah, it’s great to meet you.
So nice to meet you!
Riff Raffis in theaters now.
