As played by Michael C. Hall (Dexter, Six Feet Under) in the show’s second season (premiering Friday), President John F. Kennedy is still a charming leader who can deliver an inspiring speech (a scene where Kennedy describes a divided nation and calls for healing leadership seems particularly on point). But he’s also shown behind the scenes as a controlling jealous conniver prone to outbursts, including very roughly handling Jackie Kennedy (Jodi Balfour) — who later reveals her and her husband’s heavy dependence on drugs. Below, Hall gives his first interview about the drama series, whose second season follows the life of Queen Elizabeth (Claire Foy) from the years 1956 to 1964.
