The Night Manager,' Kate Moss, And Finding Depth In Villainy

Diego Calva has been singing the praises of the new season of "The Night Manager," but why take his word for it when you have the endorsement of Kate Moss ?

While in Paris last week for the Saint Laurent men's show , Calva was feeling a bit nervous about sitting with people he didn't know — until none other than Moss breezed in, took her seat next to him and proceeded to rave about the show.

"She introduced me to thousands of people, like, 'oh, Diego, he's in 'The Night Manager,'" Calva says. "She literally was my PR, and made everything more relaxing."

A decade after the first season of "The Night Manager" was released, the show returned for a second season this January. Season One star Tom Hiddleston is back and is joined by Calva and Camila Morrone in another installment of the crime drama, set mostly this season in Colombia.

"When you are the guy being cast, you are the guy that has to prove himself. You never know," Calva says over Zoom from a "frozen" Atlanta of his audition process. "And honestly, I learned during my career that expecting is too much. Asking is too much. I send the tape, I do the callback, I do the chemistry reading, and then I try to forget about it because if not, I'm going to torture myself and I'm going to think for the next three months, like, 'oh, I should have said this line this way, or I should have tried this.'"

"'Babylon' came and knocked on my door and put me in a different stage," he says. "'Babylon' was the most challenging, rich and wild experience. [Damien] is such a perfectionist. He's such an interesting and loving guy, and the two things he loves the most are music and cinema. I literally learned how to act with Olivia Hamilton, Damien's wife, as kind of my coach, and Damien Chazelle. They created the actor inside me, or at least they let him free."
