I was like, in Sherry’s mind, she doesn’t know what’s going to happen. I do nails for my characters, so I did a a pedicure where I put diamonds on my big toe. I was like, I really have to build the expectation for Sherry. That’s all in the expectation gap-the gap between expectation and reality is the amount of disappointment you’re going to feel. I was like, how can I make that switch the biggest emotional switch for my character? It starts positive and we end up in the cage. The way that the sequence starts, you think it knows where it’s going, and then it ends up somewhere else. I have some experience in that world, and you want to be prepared for everything. SG: No! That ends in a cage? Hopefully not! That might be at an S&M Club. OD: Even if you have had that life experience, nothing ends quite like this. How can I get out of the way to make it happen, and use whatever life experience I have to help this out? The swinging episode was buck wild but I was there for it, the whole thing. I don’t know if you’ve ever swung, but it’s exactly what you said. As far as the wild ride goes, it’s really true to life. You’re acting, but there are a lot of things that can go wrong, as we've seen. We had intimacy coordinators to keep things professional. SG: I have to give it up to Pete, who came in and directed, and showrunner Sera Gamble. It starts off sexy, then becomes awkward, then becomes terrifying. OD: So much happens in the swinging sequence’s 20 minutes. I can’t wait to see the Twitter memes about how Sherry turned her bad into a strength. I’ve never been killed on camera, so I thought it could go either way. OD: How does it feel to play a character in the very small club of characters who survive Joe Goldberg? But honestly, their marriage stayed together! There’s something to knowing why you’re with the person that you're with. I’m just, oh the universe, we got together… With Sherry and Cary, I was thinking at first, it’s a marriage of convenience. Even before my marriage, I wasn’t really taking full responsibility for why I’m with the people that I’m with. And what itch you’re scratching when you’re doing that. One of things I took away is, always be aware of why you’re with the person that you’re with. But what I learned from my divorce is that you can’t judge. I had all this judgement about this specific marriage. For Sherry, I focused on the marriage aspect of it, and what keeps marriages together. I was gay married and now I’m gay divorced. Oprah Daily: Did you learn anything from playing Sherry? Speaking to Oprah Daily, Grant unpacks the show's action-packed swinging sequence, her time in the box, and what she learned from playing Sherry. After their sultry evening goes off script, Sherry and Cary end up locked in Joe's cage, unsure if they'll ever see Madre Linda's palm trees or their Instagram followers again. Joe and Love are masquerading as newlyweds, but actually are serial killers for whom taking a life is as a casual an act as, say, taking a bath. When they invite Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) and Love Quinn (Victoria Pedretti) to join in, Sherry and Cary's lives quickly become more complicated. It’s holding people’s secrets, and giving people an opportunity to be vulnerable," Grant says. It’s also power-the power of swinging with the school principal and being able to email him, knowing he’s going to get stuff done for you. "For Sherry and Cary, the swinging is more than just sex. Sherry and Cary are at the nexus of the town's swingers. Turns out the adults of Madre Linda are in bed together, and not in a metaphorical sense. In episode 7, audiences learn Sherry's regal baring may the byproduct of her extracurricular hobby. At first, theirs appear to be a marriage of convenience.īut there's more to Sherry and Cary, and their marriage, than meets the eye. Sherry is a "momfluencer" who documents her life with two children Cary markets his fitness-centric lifestyle to seem accessible to aspiring he-men. Sherry and her husband, Cary (Travis van Winkle), are perfectly matched as self-promotional millennials who turned their personal brands into a career. "She’s the glue of the town but she’s also spiky and protective about what happens in that inner circle. "She's the Queen of Hearts," Grant tells Oprah Daily, referring to the elaborate costume Sherry wears to a themed fundraiser.
