Q&A: E of Eels on His 'Love' Acting Gig, First-Ever Prolonged Break From Music
FUSE TV - Q&A: E of Eels on His 'Love' Acting Gig, First-Ever Prolonged Break From Music
In February, Netflix premiered another original comedy jewel, this one called Love. The L.A.-set sorta-not-really-rom-com series comes from Judd Apatow, Lesley Arfin and Paul Rust, who co-stars with Community's Gillian Jacobs. In the fourth episode, Mark Oliver Everett, a.k.a. E, a.k.a. the band Eels, shows up as a disaffected new father hosting a party at his swanky Hollywood Hills home. His wife is Chantal Claret, singer of the now-defunct Morningwood. By the end of the party, E's singing and playing the 1974 Wings single "Jet" in the living room while Rust jams along on bass.
On the occasion of what E is semi-certain to be his acting debut, he and Fuse spoke about miming a rock song for a day-long shoot, working with Jon Slattery, known to you and yours as Roger Sterling of Mad Men, and E's first extended break from music in more than 20 years of recording and touring.
FUSE: I can't tell you how surprising
it was to suddenly see you on a TV show with no advance notice.
E: Yeah, I'm getting a lot of that.
It's a very un-E moment
when your character says he sucks at guitar and immediately flips it to say he
actually rules.
Of course the first thing I said was more truthful. I would
never do that in real life.
