Though he’s often associated with intense roles like his Oscar-nominated turns in “Revolutionary Road” and “Nocturnal Animals,”is funny. That’s now been well established. From scene-stealing cameos in “They Came Together” and “The Night Before” to his hilarious/terrifying reading of a viral sorority letter to often being the highlight of press junkets with his trademark dry delivery, the actor has proven his comedy bona fides.

I can personally vouch that Shannon smells fine and there’s nothing for Michaels to be afraid of. And the actor seems a perfect fit for the show; “SNL” often likes to subvert expectations by utilizing actors perceived as “serious” and they particularly enjoy actors with a background in live theater – both Shannon specialties. “Yeah, I’m adaptable, I’m malleable,” he agrees. But he also says he has “lost hope.

Shannon talks in detail about preparing to play music legend George Jones, including how much the costuming helped him as an actor and what it was like shooting scenes where Jones is drunk. It’s intended as a compliment to say he’s very believable in those moments – he credits not overthinking it. “Regardless of whether your character is drunk or not in the scene, there’s probably something more important going on. So it shouldn’t ever because the primary focus,” he says.
