Episode 4: Creating Family Dynamics in Those About To Die

  • Summary

  • It’s hard enough to write a character people connect with. But what about one based off of a real person, who lived nearly 2000 years ago in one of the most well-documented time periods in history? There’s just a staggering amount to get wrong. But there’s also so much to get right… to take what we know and build off of it. On Episode 4 of Rise or Die, host Dana Swartz (Noble Blood) talks to series creator and executive producer Robert Rodat (Saving Private Ryan). They talk about power and ambition, giving your characters life-and-death stakes, and how family dynamics are essential to the drama in Those About To Die. This episode also features a conversation with actors Joco Macari and Tom Hughes about working with actor Anthony Hopkins, who plays their father, and historical consultant Justin Pollard. Check out Those About To Die after the episode, streaming only on Peacock.
