Britt Lower Joined the Circus and Draws Sketches to Help Discover Her Severance Character

[@imalwaysright]

“Ir’s ok to get butterflies… you just gotta them into formation” The way that hit me. I’m putting that in my pocket.

[@bowtoyoursensei554]

Me too. As an actor who frequently suffers from butterfly syndrome before going onstage...I love it.

[@billadams9986]

She's been acting for years, but Britt seems a bit overwhelmed by the level of attention this role is bringing her. Highly deserved, she's fantastic.

[@Chironicus]

Agree completely. She's amazing.

[@TerryFGaming]

Britt Lower has an authenticity that's so refreshing and in a way it's tied to her getting her recognition years after her start in the industry. It's awesome to see her humility and genuine awe at being in a position she may have doubted was possible at this level.

[@dpaul428]

You sound like ChatGPT

[@helloworld2054]

ChatGPT ahh answer

[@cwg73160]

The authenticity you’re referring to is impossible to recognize through a video. You don’t know her. You don’t what she’s like away from cameras. Stop being naive. You’re wrong.

[@Jawn..]

@@cwg73160damn you angry huh?

[@cwg73160]

@@Jawn.. Wait. Do you always think people are angry when they tell you facts or the truth? I’m sorry if something happened to you that caused you to feel that way. School must’ve been tough for you. I’m sure everyone hopes you get the help you need.

[@thomasbelmont810]

I am fascinated by Britt. She says the innies have a child-like quality to them, and so does she; full of openness and sense of wonder. Just a lovely person. ❤️

[@bobwiegers]

Holy Sh!t she nailed it so much in episode 2. You can't take your eyes off her!!

[@h3runs]

Great job by Seth. Look at how nervous she was at the beginning and how comfortable she became at the end. He's easily one of the better interviewers out there 👍

I went to the shoe string circus in bellingham and it was fantastic. I had no idea that she was queen 😅. She was very friendly and charismatic in person.

I love when an actor is nothing like the character they play. You can tell they really are a good actor.

[@naomigreen9749]

Here she is giving the vibe "I'm so genuinely happy to be here" but her character is the vibe "I'm so miserable to be here".

She's adorable... and her acting, of course, is so good. Love her acting method.

She is somehow so normal and so weird. I'm here for it!!!!

[@AP-hn8wd]

Britt’s outtie was so evil in Season 2 Episode 2 it was so scary 🫣 Talk about range in an actress, she knocked it out of the park!

[@yevgeniyaleshchenko849]

She was not just ''evil'', she was also scared and nervous, confused, flustered and even envious at times.

[@francescaa8331]

She's so talented. Great show.

[@marc_likes_marketing]

wow, her humility is so sweet and refreshing. i soooo wasn't expecting this.

[@ra4811]

As a former circus clown, I am so pleased to hear Britt's affection for circus. So often, "Circus" and "Clown" are used in derogatory and demeaning ways. People unfamiliar with circus then parrot those attitudes, missing out on the wonder, joys, and fascination of circus and circus life. Britt's attitude is so refreshing. I am happy for her that she has found this wonderful, creative, pleasurable world - circus.

[@ejflambert]

YES! Love seeing Bellingham, Western Washington University, and Shoestring Circus mentioned! The coolest corner of the country.

[@hatezis]

She could actually release this as an artbook

[@scottieapplseed]

Her presence and true authentic interest are just hypnotic. Experience life, and go on adventures!

[@juliaconnell]

this was such an awesome, intriguing, interesting interview. Britt is so talented - multi talented. the artwork looked amazing, and joining the circus, an actual circus - wow, so cool

[@PlagueDoctorMD]

She's so charming and endearing and what a fabulous actress! Can't wait to see her future projects.

[@MAC-op5fc]

She is delightful!

[@richbaird9407]

This is why i love Seth Myers. Compare this to her interview with Stephen Colbert. She's so much more at ease and enjoying herself here. Brit Lower is such a fun and interesting person and she gets to show that here.

[@carlosortega3d]

Totally agree, I've been a huge Colbert fan for a long time but in recent years Seth has become my fav host & interviewer, you can tell he makes everyone feel comfortable and you always can see he has genuine interest in everything the guest has to say.

[@andrew66862]

Haven't watched the Colbert version, but I assume he made the northwestern connection and spent several minutes making it about himself?

Didn't think I could love Britt more, then she says she listens to Patti Smith. OMG. ❤❤❤❤

[@patrickfarrell5092]

OMG that's the first time in years I've seen an actress be humble and charming and not half dressed, did I just wake up in a different dimension? She's simply wonderful and refreshing, to be honest she's the main reason I stuck with it, her character is mysterious and acted to perfection. 👏👏💜

[@RobRoss]

She’s an amazing actress. She plays Helly R with such an innocence combined with a strong sense of self determinism. She’s wiser than the rest of them and more willing to question the status quo. Then as Helena Eagan she plays a ruthless heiress trying to live up the impossible ideals and standards set by her egomaniacal father.

[@williamkittler]

Britt carries herself in the same way 3 sentient raccoons in a human suit, walking around and realizing that they are getting away with it… but, in the best way possible! Her 100% presence is so wonderful to watch. Can I sign up to simply follow her around and watch her interact and discover this brave new World? Please, please, please… 🙏🏻

[@JimNortonsAlcoholism]

She seems to be constantly surprised that she has consciousness

[@craigjhard]

Geez what a doll. Severance is great. Exceptionally well done, just finished season one at the tail end of 2024. Been eager for each new episode of season 2.

Wow, her face has hints of Amélie who I think was the most beautiful actress to come along is a long time.

[@karenlepage-mindfulmaker]

Oh yes Audrey Tautou! Great catch.

Great Series (Severance) - Delightful person (Britt Lower). Very surprised with her real life personality - humble and enchanting.

[@bobwiegers]

correction ;-) that's her talk show personality, which is indeed lovely.

[@robertsimonson2341]

Great interview Britt & Seth... Loved Britt's drawings & Circus info. Seth I was like you looking down at the Circus and was also amazingly transformed when I attended a few. The world is our oyster.

[@robynmitchell9563]

I believe Helly's father forced a reverse severance on her. The innie has always been working as a spokesperson for Lumen's severance programme and the outie/actual Helena was dispatched to MDR because she opposed severance. She is imprisoned, it's why she has never surrendered to being an 'innie'. There are several clues in season one that point to it. She is part of or perhaps even leader of the movement Petie told Mark about - it's why she was suddenly severed, whereas most people have been there for years.

[@simoncaine8861]

This is a reach. If the 'real' Helly (the one with all her memories of her life) is the one we see follow through all of s1 inside Lumon, why doesn't she remember who she is? The first scene of the whole show is her not remembering who she is, and she'd have no reason to lie about that. Without spoiling anything related to s2, its far more likely that her 'never surrendering to being an innie' is more a case of her inner-child (which is kinda what the innie is, right?) being more curious than her outie. There are scenes already in s2 that suggest why her outie is the way she is and why that inner child is so absent.

They have less "originals" than others, but Apple put a lot of value in what they chose. Don't get me wrong, there are some stinkers. Severence, For All Mankind, Shrinking, and Foundation are excellent
