James Marsden—star of Westworld, MrsAmerica, DeadtoMe, etc.—reflects on his journey from Oklahoma to Hollywood

From science fiction to historical drama , to contemporary dark comedy, to plague apocalypse is a pretty wide range to walk, yet Marsden has never seemed uncomfortable in building his curio cabinet of roles. He has become a true journeyman actor, one whose matinee-idol good looks can sometimes belie the thinking, shape-shifting performer behind them.

He had the raw talent, and the looks, for sure. But he also had a high degree of good fortune—an almost annoying amount. Marsden’s father agreed to support him financially for his first year in Los Angeles, and set him up with a friend of his, whom Marsden said was “a very successful casting director.” That casting director in turn connected Marsden with a manager, and it was off to the races. Marsden realizes what an abundance of easily won riches this was.

In fact, his manager was getting such good feedback from Marsden’s various auditions that he figured they could hold out to “catch bigger fish.” That more discerning tack eventually led Marsden toin 2000, which helped secure his footing in the industry. But success didn’t dull Marsden’s drive or curiosity. “was the first time that made me feel like, all right, this is potentially going to put me on a global map,” he said. “People are going to know who I am.

back in the aughts, but only recently has he committed to multiseason runs of series. It’s not the time commitment that sometimes makes him hesitant to do a show, though. “The only thing that gives me pause before signing on to a series is not really being able to read every script and know how it all ends,” he explained.
