We had the chance to speak with Menzies about the weight of this role, sharing it with two other actors, the late, real-life Prince Philip, and other observations from playing this and other characters. We also discussed his official Emmy episode submission and the season three installment he would urge Emmy voters to consider instead as a fantastic showcase of his work.
