Hope Davis recalled her portfolio and said that she never played a dark character before. Yes, the 56-year-old actress reflected on her crime boss character on Your Honor starring Hunter Doohan, Bryan Cranston, Sofia Black-D'Elia, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Carmen Ejogo.

Although the actress has earned many Emmy nominations before for portraying Hillary Clinton in The Special Relationship and portraying a patient In Treatment, which is popular HBO series, she also garnered Gotham and Independent Spirit Awards for playing Madeleine Gravis in drama-comedy, Synecdoche, New York.

Davis noted that she never played a bad character, and when she was approached for this role, it seemed to be a delicious opportunity to grab immediately. The actress portrayed Gina Baxter in this legal thriller, which is an adaption of the Kvodo Israeli series.

Throughout the series, Cranston's character Michael Desiato is busy flushing down the evidence against his son, Gina's character steps forward to collect all those missing evidence together.

“The Baxter couple really lay all of their cards on the table and do what they do best, which is to create fear and confusion and to seize power and to control the narrative,” she added. While at the beginning of the drama, Davis portrays a helpless mother, she soon starts to unfold the mystery behind the incident.

The limited series has reached halfway through the season, and ten episodes have been released so far. Viewers are already engaged with Gina's dark side as she begins to lash out at people for not giving their hundred percent in the case.

Although there are many powerful scenes in the series, the actress explained one of the clips in which she attends her son's funeral while her second son is released on a temporary basis from prison. The actress donned a veil in the scene as she goes up to the police officer and asks to keep his hands away.

The actress explained how the script didn't demand her to don a veil, but it was her observation that influenced the decision. Davis revealed that when she was in New Orleans, she used to attend Catholic mass, and many women used to wear a veil.

Davis said that she was absolutely surprised looking at this accessory before she spoke about it to the costume designer. The clip showed how powerful character was written for the actress, and it was not a typical mother's role to portray.
