Episode 193: Brian Markinson on the new season of 'Tribal' and breathing life into dark characters
Brian Markinson’s filmography is populated by meanies, baddies, ne’er-do-wells, and other assorted characters who live in morally ambiguous zones in shows like The Romeo Section, Mad Men, Continuum, Arctic Air, and The Killing, and films like Shooter, The Curse of the Jade Scorpion, and Charlie Wilson’s War. He can currently be seen starring opposite Jessica Matten in Tribal, the second season of which began airing on APTN and APTN Lumi in October. Tribal stars Jessica as Sam Woodburn, a young Indigenous woman who is appointed Chief of Tribal Police in the wake of a corruption scandal and finds herself forced to partner with Buke (played by Brian), a grizzled, racist, angry white cop from the nearby Metropolitan Police Force. In this fascinating and thoughtful episode, Brian talks about Tribal’s darker second season, the ways in which playing bad guys is fun, his work in Family Law and an upcoming project about the opioid crisis, and how art can help us heal from the wounds of this tumultuous age.
