Topher: It was enough acting opposite Laura Linney in every scene. She's so good and it's not like we had a lot to do. In a lot of the scenes we're just facing each other talking. But then to add in physical intimacy on top of emotional intimacy was really difficult and I was really vulnerable. I wanted to be the gentleman and kind of hold her hand, and instead she was that for me. So I am so glad that I lost my screen virginity to someone as kind and giving. It was much easier once we got it. We must've done forty takes of that scene from different angles, and it played out in real time, so it was really the first two or three times we did it that were difficult.
Larua Sex Scene Linny
Topher: I just finished a movie with Dennis Quaid, Synergy, where it was three months of me and him hanging out. Being able to do scenes with Julia Roberts and Michael Douglas, I've started to realize that the best way to approach learning from them is observation. They're giving you all the answers. They're showing you how it's done. I have no yen to do anything but act. I don't think I'd be good at it. I really hate these kids who, after their first or second film, want to write and direct and then want to cut a rap album. I'm very new at this and I'm happy to talk about how green I am. I just want to be a sponge and learn from all the best people, because I truly hope this is the beginning of my career.
Laura Linney tells Dave Davies about filming sex scenes in the HBO series John Adams, in which she played Abigail Adams (opposite Paul Giamatti as the 2nd president):
Jason Bateman and Laura Linney have been playing a fictional married couple for three years. Their playful flirting and an awkward incident while filming a sex scene created sexual tension between them that they never acted on...until they filmed the last season in 2020. Both are grateful to be working again and are enjoying not being cooped up with their families for months on end. They make a deal that their affair has an expiration date, but will they be able to stick to it?

Julie Walters plays her part well, as can be expected from such an experienced and praised actress. She tends to take over all her scenes, but that is being true to her character Evie, who herself is an actress who tends to be the center of attention.
