‘And then somebody throws a piece of sh-t at you': ‘The Diplomat' star Ato Essandoh on Stuart getting honeytrapped
One of the elements of Netflix's The Diplomat that lends itself to being an addictive drama is how the show juggles huge political turmoil alongside relationship drama and often comedic complications for the core characters. Case in point, Stuart Heyford (Ato Essandoh), the deputy chief of mission of the U.S. embassy in London. Besides his duties being the right hand for U.S. ambassador Kate Wyler (Keri Russell), Stuart had a tumultuous second season. After surviving the Season 1 finale explosion, he recovered enough to return to work and randomly met a woman (Adrienne Warren) with whom he hooked up, only to find out there was nothing random about it all. His ex-girlfriend Eidra (Ali Ahn), the CIA station chief, set it all up to ensure he was ready to come back to his job. More from GoldDerby Emmy experts analyze Limited Series race: Why 'Adolescence' is 'the one to beat' as voting begins Making of 'Mid-Century Modern': How comedy legends created Hulu's freshest sitcom starring Nathan Lane and the late Linda Lavin Parker Posey reveals 'The White Lotus' fans are making sure she's living a comfortable life Here, Essandoh tells us whether he likes to know what's coming on the hit drama, his experience meeting real-life foreign service members, and the challenges of working with crutches. Gold Derby: Outside of the politics, is just a fun show to watch. Do you feel that from the inside? Ato Essandoh: Yeah, I still remember reading that pilot script for the first time. I read it off of my phone because the casting director sent it to me and I hate reading things on computers and screens, but I couldn't put my phone down. It was so good. Stuart went through it in the second season. How was a lot of that to play? I always marvel at Debora Cahn, our show creator, and her ability to create these real people and put them in really serious circumstances and still pull out the humanity and the humor out of it. So it's one of those things where I've done enough shows where I want to read scripts and talk to the showrunner just to see what's going to happen. But with Debora, I don't want to talk to her. I just want to see what happens in the read-through when I get the script. It's always something that's really surprising. So getting Stuart set up with a honeypot and how Eidra reveals it to him was kind of amazing. That whole thing coming from a place of "I just got really lucky and I really needed it." And then chopping my legs out right from under me. I wanted to ask about that Episode 4 scene in particular because Stuart does go from having that next morning glow to just being shocked and furious in a matter of seconds. Plus, the interaction was recorded! What were the challenges for you in that scene? I keep going back to the writing because the writing gives you the highs and the lows, so it's almost not challenging. It's challenging when there's nothing there to work with, but who doesn't know that feeling of literally getting up out of bed, skipping? The sun is shining, birds are singing, and then somebody throws a piece of sh-t at you. Do you know what I mean? I just couldn't wait to get to set to try all the different takes I could have on coming from a high, high, high place and getting cut out by somebody who I really, really love and who I really, really respect, which is even worse, you know? Did you play around with how big you should go once that reveal comes out and Stuart grows immediately furious? A little bit because I'm always afraid of being too big because I'm naturally a big guy and I have a big voice and I don't want to be too theatrical. But how do you play that since, literally, your ex-girlfriend has just video-recorded your hookup and it's now a national secret? I think what I found was a good place of just shock and awe and absolutely being crushed on this whole thing. I hope I did it well, but people who have watched it have given me pretty good feedback, so I'm pretty happy with it. Also, during Season 2, we see Stuart's recovery from the explosion at the end of the first season. Were there challenges working with those crutches? Those crutches were really annoying. The first episode that I had to use them were great, but then you see that you have five more episodes. Even the little squeaky thing that they do when you use them, that just sort of got under my skin so much. Also, because of the position that I am in, I don't want it to be a big thing. I'm trying to look like I am healthy, I'm cured. And the thing that these people [in government] do is that they live these lives and they're so human, but they have to put on this mask and nothing fazes them. Every time I see a Tony Blinken [former U.S. secretary of state] on television talking very calmly about what might be going on in Ukraine or China, I know that there's much so much going on in his head. And I know that there's a ton of people behind him scrambling like little cats. Netflix So it sounds like watching some of these real political figures takes on different meaning after being in the world of Yes. Funny thing, I went to a Fourth of July party and it was filled with the foreign service. And I was talking to the person whose job I play on the show, this wonderful man named Matthew Palmer. We were just having a conversation about the show and then I think the ambassador of, let's say, Azerbaijan just walks up to him and they start talking policy. And then the ambassador looks at me and goes, "Oh, hey, aren't you in that show?" And I'm like, "yeah." And so then we just segue from Ukraine to talking about my show and then back to needing to figure out what this triad was going to be. Was that a little gratifying that they knew you and knew the show? It was wonderfully gratifying because we're big with the foreign service. If nobody else in the United States likes us, the foreign service really digs us, and that's a really good feeling. Tell me about working with Ali as Eidra. She and Stuart are broken up in Season 2, but do you play that Stuart still has feelings for her? It's hard enough to be in the same room with an ex, let alone have to work with them! That's what I play because I'm naturally a romantic and I just think Stuart loves this woman because who doesn't love somebody who's just powerful and in charge? And also it's nice, maybe from an ego standpoint, to have somebody that's so powerful who actually digs you and wants to spend time with you. He wears his heart on his sleeve in a way that I think Ali's character does not. And I think that dynamic is what is fun to love. So I play it that way, and she can just sort of shut everything off, but I know underneath that hard candy shell is a creamy nougat. SEE 'What's next?' Allison Janney on playing a 'badass' on The Diplomat and The West Wing 25 years later I know some of your scenes are on stages, but then others are on location and are just so grand and stately. How is that for you? Yeah, the offices are on a soundstage but everything that you see outside is actually real. Like, we shot at the U.S. Embassy and we shot at St. Paul's Cathedral. It's a lot of location porn, really. Like, the place that doubles as the ambassador's residence is some sort of royalty and one of the tables inside of the lobby was owned by Napoleon. And they tell us that. And I'm like, "Wait, Napoleon? That Napoleon?" And they're like, "Yeah, that Napoleon." It's the other character of the entire series. I saw a Season 1 interview where you called Debora a mad scientist due to the show's writing. Do we see some of that mad scientist work in the Season 3 scripts? Yeah, mad scientist was a great start for her, but now I think she's like a wicked sorceress at this point. She's gone metaphysical now. The depth of the characters are one of the things that I love because it is a character study and you wonder how far she can take these characters. You get it in Season 1, which is a lot of world-building. And then Season 2 comes off like a rocket. Of course, then it's, where are they going to go in Season 3? I really think she's got voodoo dolls and stuff like that. Like, she's gone away from science and now it's magic. I love it. Stuart's job involves keeping a lot of secrets because he's privy to a lot of information. How are you personally at keeping secrets? I'm pretty good. I'm actually proud of my secret-keeping ability sometimes. My girlfriend begs to differ, but I am pretty good at being a confidant. And what's interesting is that in Season 2, Stuart gets left out of all of these secrets. And that's what really gets under his skin, which is amazing. The guy just survived a bombing and I think the thing that really kills him is he's not one of the cool kids anymore and he doesn't get all these secrets. He walks into a room, they're all like, "Stuart's here',"and they walk away. So that's another little thing that Debora throws in that I love that she makes us play with. What is one word to describe Season 3? Emotional.

‘RuPaul's Drag Race': Onya Nurve and Jewels Sparkles dish their ‘ride of a lifetime,' stolen jokes, and turning drag ‘inside out'
"I'm super grateful for the love that I've been getting from the community and from everyone in the world," Onya Nurve tells Gold Derby's Reality Derby. Onya won Season 17 of MTV's RuPaul's Drag Race in April, while Jewels Sparkles placed as the runner-up. "I'm learning every day how much it's changing my life," says the latest champion. Jewels has been "so blessed and so lucky for all of the opportunities that have come from the show." She reveals, "The first episode came out and I feel like our lives changed overnight." Since then, their "ride of a lifetime" has included "getting to travel the world, meeting fans from everywhere, performing in different cities ... I'm pinching myself every day. This is genuinely the coolest thing ever." More from GoldDerby 'And then somebody throws a piece of sh-t at you': 'The Diplomat' star Ato Essandoh on Stuart getting honeytrapped Emmy experts analyze Limited Series race: Why 'Adolescence' is 'the one to beat' as voting begins Making of 'Mid-Century Modern': How comedy legends created Hulu's freshest sitcom starring Nathan Lane and the late Linda Lavin Heading into the grand finale, Onya "didn't know" that she'd be claiming the crown. "I was up there with entertainers that were just as talented as me," referring to Jewels, Lexi Love, and Sam Star. "The only thing that was going through my brain — because there was so much going on and so little time to do anything — was me telling myself, 'Onya, you just have to do your best and try to have some fun.'" Jewels' mindset was, "We did the work, we did the show, and now we're going to go in and do what we can and have fun. I went in there with no expectations. Whatever happens is going to happen, and whatever's meant for me is going to be meant for me." Onya asks, "What's the saying? Prepare for the worst?" "And expect the best," Jewels finishes. "Wait!" "The other way around!" Onya laughs. "But something like that." Jewels expected to be "the first one to go home," she confesses. "So, any day that you get to survive after that, that was my mentality on the show, to be honest." She adds, "We got time between filming and airing to watch ourselves before we went back for the finale. Not every season is like that, so we were really lucky to be able to learn from watching ourselves on TV," which she likens to an "out-of-body experience." As a relatively new drag queen, Onya felt "underestimated" heading into the Werk Room for the first time. "I felt like I had to prove myself, but I really didn't have to. I think that was all in my own head. We were always on the same playing field. There's the competition aspect of the game, and then the social aspect of the game, and I feel like the social aspect of the game is where I personally had the most work to do." The makeover challenge really struck an emotional chord with viewers, particularly as both of their fathers appeared on the show to support their children. "Me and my dad are really close," says Jewels, who cherished "getting to share that moment" with him. "For a straight Latino man to go and support his son in that way? It's the greatest gift ever."for MTV Onya agrees it was an "amazing" experience to makeover her father, proclaiming, "My dad has always been a huge supporter of my drag. But like Jewels said, I didn't know it was to the point where he would get on the show with me and do drag. I thought my mom, or at least some woman in my life, was going to come in. So, when my dad came in, there was an extra level of, 'Oh sh--!' Not only do I have to put my dad in drag, but he's wearing a beard, and he has to shave." Both contestants performed well in the "Snatch Game" challenge, with Onya portraying Eddie Murphy and Jewels taking on Miss Big Feet. "I've been watching movies that [Murphy] has been doing for a long time, like The Nutty Professor and Shrek," Onya explains. "So, I really had a good idea of his humor, style, and cadence. But I've also played Donkey in Shrek in community theaters ... so I just rolled with it and had a lot of fun." Jewels loved the idea of "redeeming" Miss Big Feet since there'd only been "this one picture where she's naked, walking in the woods." So, she decided to "put makeup and eyelashes on, and make her really pretty, because that's what you would want to do if the only thing people know about you is a naked picture of you in the woods. Like, that's so disgusting." Onya's hardest moment on the program was the "sewing challenges — we had three of them, which is a lot." And Jewels' biggest obstacle was when the competition narrowed down to the Top 5, and everyone around her was a "strong competitor," which caused her to "self-sabotage." Surprisingly, Jewels doesn't harbor any ill will toward Arrietty for stealing her jokes in the roast challenge, because, "Her roast was one of the worst roasts ever on that show, and I want to take no credit for that." She turns to the camera and smiles, "Gotcha, bitch!" SEE'We need to be gayer than ever before': 'RuPaul's Drag Race' queens and producers get political at FYC pool party They are both "so proud" of Lydia "Butthole" Kollins representing their season on RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars. "Lydia left on such a high note," Onya divulges. "The audience and the room were just getting a chance to see exactly who she was. And we all saw RuPaul give her that twinkle in her eye when she did the 'Boogie Wonderland' [lip sync]. So, I knew once Lydia was eliminated, that wasn't the last time we were going to see her. Did we think we would see her that soon? No! But it gagged me." With the Emmy Awards coming up, do they think Season 17 deserves to win the trophy for Best Competition Program? "We will win," Jewels predicts. "This season has everything. We have amazing drag. There's so much heart, so much friendship, so many real stories." Onya chimes in, "Our season in particular let the audience see the inside of who we are as people, on top of the glamorous drag that we wear. We turned our drag inside out for the audience to see that we are real, emotional, messy, and sometimes very troubled human beings under all this drag. I thought it was a kick-ass season." Also in our exclusive video interview, the contestants take us behind the scenes of the "Squirrel Games" challenge, they delve into the special "love" they share for all of their sisters, and they reveal the best piece of advice that RuPaul Charles gave them while filming.

Sarah Jessica Parker Best Family Photos: Matthew Broderick, Kids, More
Sarah Jessica Parker has been famous since she was 12 years old when she was cast in the Broadway sensation Annie. From Footloose to Sex and the City, the triple-threat actress has always found a way to stay in the limelight through every decade, but it's her family that matters to her the most. She found her partner in crime, Matthew Broderick, after being introduced by her two brothers, who worked with him in the theater community. Together, they started a family that includes son James Wilkie, born in 2002, and fraternal twins Tabitha Hodge and Marion Loretta (goes by Loretta), who were born in 2009. She described her son when he was younger as 'very small, but [with a] personality [that] is 6 feet 4' and that's evident from every mischievous photo of him on the red carpet. The twins are a totally different story; they prefer life out of the spotlight, so it's rare to see a photo of them in public (unless the paparazzi are hounding them). 'They're really devoted to each other, but they'll also say, 'I need time away from her.' Tabitha can play by herself for hours. Loretta always needs to be checking in,' she told People. 'They go to different schools. That's Tabitha's idea.' Parker is a mama bear who does her best to maintain all of her children's privacy because no matter how famous she is as the iconic Carrie Bradshaw, at home, she's just mom. See our favorite photos of Parker with her family over the years below!

In this pic, they seem so proud as they leave the hospital for the first time. Parker and Broderick then welcomed twin daughters Tabitha Hodge and Marion Loretta in 2009. In this Robin Layton photo, the family of five is all smiles with their new additions. James's fascination with his sister is truly adorable! Over the years, James has been a veteran when it comes to walking the red carpet. He's often seen accompanying his parents at premieres and Broadway openings. At the premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 in 2011, James outdid his own fashionable parents in this adorable black velvet suit. How adorable! He's a big fan of theater, too! In this pic, he's attending the Catch Me If You Can Broadway premiere back in 2011. At the 2012 premiere of Nice Work If You Can Get It, Parker posed hand-in-hand with James on the carpet as he showed off her longer, shaggier haircut. When Parker attended the New York City Ballet 2018 Spring Gala in 2018, daughters Loretta and Tabitha looked like her mini-me in floral spring dresses. Despite being a full-time student at Brown University in 2021, James still made time to support his mom on her big return to the iconic role of Carrie Bradshaw at the And Just Like That… premiere in December. Speaking of supporting, both Tabitha and Loretta sweetly supported their mom at the premiere of her long-awaited movie, Hocus Pocus 2, in September 2022. At the opening night of Some Like It Hot! on Broadway in December 2022, all five of them attended and posed for photos. Broderick looked proud as can be looking at his son at the premiere of No Hard Feelings in June 2023. Broderick was joined by all three of his kids at the long-awaited premiere of Oh, Mary! on July 11, 2024. He's one proud dad! The tight-knit family had another Broadway family outing at the Smash Opening Night on April 10, 2025.
