Angourie Rice Interview: The Last Thing He Told Me

Warning: SPOILERS for The Last Thing He Told MeIn The Last Thing He Told Me, Angourie Rice plays Bailey, a teenage girl who questions everything she ever knew when her father mysteriously vanishes. Based on the novel by Laura Dave, who developed the hit Apple TV+ miniseries with Reese Witherspoon's Hello Sunshine shingle, The Last Thing He Told Me also stars Jennifer Garner, Aisha Tyler, and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau.

Angourie Rice Talks The Last Thing He Told Me Screen Rant: The Last Thing He Told Me is such a riveting show. I was excited that the first two episodes were directed by Olivia Newman, because I got to interview her last year for Where The Crawdads Sing. Bailey is such a complex role. How did you find your way to this character who realizes that she doesn't really know who she is?

Angourie Rice: Oh, good question. I think it's really interesting when you think about memory and how much we retain, as people. When I think about my memories as a kid, my earliest memories are from when I was maybe three. So I do think that Bailey has some memory of who she was beforehand. But I think it's been pushed out of her head.

Angourie Rice: This is something I thought a lot about filming episode 6, which is when Bailey finally uncovers the truth about her dad. And what Bailey is searching for the whole time is the truth. And I think what she realizes in episode 6, when she finally gets it, is that nothing anyone said could have made it better. Because the sting of him leaving, that just complete hurt of him leaving her, outweighs anything, outweighs any reason.

One of my favorite things was that, we would run through, because the show happens in such a short amount of time, before every scene, we would kind of run through everything that had happened that day and the story. We would say to each other, "Okay, this morning, we got up, we went to the football stadium, then we went to different churches, and then we..." So we kind of had this ritual of reminding ourselves [of] the story of the show.
