Custom image from Jefferson Chacon of Patton Oswalt for Manhunt
The Big Picture The Apple TV+ seven-part limited series Manhunt explores the aftermath of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln and the hunt to find John Wilkes Booth . Told through the eyes of Secretary of War Edwin Stanton , a little-known figure in American history, the story unfolds as a personal and political tale of what can happen when people feel threatened by change.
PATTON OSWALT: That’s a really good way to put it, the way you just described it. It is a story where we know the outcome, but there’s really good writing in this. It’s like The Day of the Jackal or All the President’s Men. I know how it ends, but it’s so compelling that I’m on the edge of my seat. We all know how the story ends, but all we’ve ever known are the bare bones of it, or at least that’s what we’re taught.
OSWALT: Depending on who’s giving him money. But the reward was so high, no one was gonna match that, so we had this very skilled scumbag on our the side of the angels because the angels were putting up some good bucks. Yes, it could have gone another way, but Lafayette Baker’s involvement was secured because of the money involved. I thought it was a great touchpoint to have. That is such a human, recognizable impulse.
OSWALT: There are a lot of parallels that I will let the viewer discover. I can guarantee that they won’t be hard to spot. We have been here before, and it’s clear we’re gonna be here again. OSWALT: I was very lucky, in that there are no audio recordings of Lafayette Baker and no film of him, so I was allowed to create his voice and his mannerisms from whole cloth, based on what I read about him. So, based on his character and his actions and what’s in the historical record, I surmised, this is probably how he would interact with other people, this is how he’d get angry, and this is how he’d be happy. I hope I did that scoundrel justice.
OSWALT: Oh, boy. The scene got cut out, but I did a scene in the movie As Good As It Gets with Jack Nicholson, and that was a big deal. That was like, “Oh, my God!” And I’ve gotten to do scenes with Alfred Molina, who I’ve always been a fan of. I think he’s an amazing actor. And I’ve gotten to meet people that I really love, like Paul Giamatti. And I got to work with Charlize Theron, who I always thought was an amazing actress.
