Hong Chau The Instigators Interview header YT
Summary Hong Chau and Matt Damon are reuniting after seven years in The Instigators. Chau previously found her breakout role in the 2017 sci-fi dramedy Downsizing, which also landed the star her first Golden Globe nomination. The years since have seen Chau garner further acclaim for the likes of HBO's Watchmen adaptation, Netflix's The Night Agent and the Brendan Fraser-led The Whale, which earned her an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress.
Alongside Damon, Affleck and Chau, the ensemble Instigators cast includes Paul Walter Hauser, Michael Stuhlbarg, Ving Rhames, Alfred Molina, Toby Jones, Jack Harlow and Ron Perlman. Offering a character-driven approach to the buddy comedy and heist genres, the movie is a funny, charming and intriguing spin on the formula thanks to its performances and script from Affleck and Chuck Maclean.

What Doug and I kind of talked about was that we wanted to layer in there — or at least, I definitely wanted to layer in there — that she's from Lynn, which is kind of a rough town, and a rough part of Boston. So, who Dr. Rivera is outside of the office might not be who we see when she's in her therapy sessions.
Chau also found herself surprised by "how much improvisation" she got to do throughout the movie, particularly in her scenes with Affleck, humorously recalling how Affleck was "just tossing out lines left and right", despite being the co-writer of the movie:
