Star Oliver Jackson-Cohen (OJACKSONCOHEN) on the emotional and painful journey to create his HauntingOfHillHouse character
"It was by far the most intense experience I’ve ever had," the actor said during a sit-down for The Hollywood Reporter In Studio.. The 10-episode adaptation of Shirley Jones’ novel of the same name became a hit with both critics and audiences after it was released in Oct. 2018. This type of cultural impact felt similar to another little Netflix series you may have heard of called"It was insanely overwhelming when it first came out," Jackson-Cohen said.
On a surface level, it’s easy to label the show just as straightforward horror, but there’s also a very present element of family drama that anchors the story. "In a weird way this show is sort of exploration about childhood trauma and the after effects of what that does to you as an adult," Jackson-Cohen said.
Jackson-Cohen did some research to prepare for the role, but actively avoided leaning too far into the typical drug addict role so often seen in film and TV. "[Luke’s] whole life is built on this idea that there’s a constant threat. He’s never ever felt safe. So I thought it would be sort of one dimensional if I focused on the addiction part,” the actor said.
