Laura Linney's Biography |
| Quote: [about her character in The Truman Show (1998)]: "The concept of The Truman Show - it was so much fun. What gave us all an additional challenge was that those of us who were the cast of The Truman Show play the actors but playing a role. So we did all this elaborate backstory. So I made up my actress name Hanna Gill, who plays Meryl Burbank, who is married to Truman Burbank. So we did all this double layering of character work not really knowing what was going to come through. I'm glad that some of the people who have seen the movie can say that they can actually see it in all of us. All of us who play the characters surrounding Jim in the film, that they can see the double layer."
