Producers Susan Downey and Amanda Burrell on producing HBO's 'The Sympathizer' and working with Downey's husband, Robert Downey Jr.

As he accepted his first-ever Oscar for Best Actor earlier this year, Robert Downey Jr. thanked his wife for “loving him back to life.” When the camera panned to her, it was the first time many viewers met Susan Downey. But she’s long been working behind the scenes not just as Downey Jr.’s partner in life, but also as his production partner.

Susan—how do you know when to wear your wife hat and when to wear your producer hat in those high-stakes scenarios where real talk might be required?SD: We’ve been doing this together for so long that I don’t know if there’s a wife hat versus a producer hat, but the relationship we have enables me to be very honest with him.
