Our next guest has travelled a long way to be here tonight, and we’re so excited he was able to make it. RCGS Honorary Fellow and actor @JaredHarris has portrayed a King of England, a Soviet chemist, a troubled advertising executive, and of course, Captain Francis Crozier. [x]
“I could be biased, but to me, one of the most binge-worthy shows of the past five years was The Terror.” says @JohnGGeiger.
The show has established writer and co-showrunner David Kajganich as one of the most exciting talents in Hollywood today. [x]
The Terror brought the stories of an iconic expedition to a global audience in a way that truly captured the zeitgeist of Franklin’s time: a fascination with — and fear of — the unknown. We award David Kajganich the Society’s Louie Kamookak Medal for his outstanding achievements. [x]
“I’m just going to say that the experience of working with David on The Terror has basically become the bar by which I judge all other opportunities.” -@JaredHarris

“[We] found that a lot of people… everyone but you, Adam, played Hickey as a kind of pre-built villain, and when we saw your first tape come in and you were open handed and you were smiling your way through the same monologue that everyone else had put fangs on, we knew you were our Hickey” - David Kajganich
“I remember the day we shot that scene. I kept running up to Nive saying, ‘Just keep in mind, you are pissed. They have murdered your friends. What’s breaking down in this group of men has now touched your community with tragedy.’ And she kept saying, ‘I can’t do that.’ She said, ‘I know how my character feels about Goodsir at the end of this scene. I can’t not smile with him, but I need him to know that he’s good.’ It was wonderful.” -David Kajganich
When it came time to start thinking about how we would approach it, we made a very concrete decision in the writers’ room that we wouldn’t start with plot and that we would try to plot the show as much out of characters’ choices as possible. We really spent time on one character and then the next, and going through everything from the book we wanted to keep. We also did a lot of research on the characters: What else did we want to use to build out their arc? So, after the end of all those weeks, we didn’t have a plot in front of us. We had character studies. We went in and took beats from each one and synthesized them into episodes. I don’t know how often that’s the method for building out a season of television, but it was incredibly rewarding in this case.
