Exclusive 1:1 Interview: Mary-Louise Parker talks R.I.P.D.

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Talk about good timing; Mary-Louise Parker is about to see two high-profile films of hers released on the same day: RED 2 and R.I.P.D. Good timing for me, too, since I got to chat with her for both flicks!. (Click HERE to see our conversation about RED 2; Bruce Willis was hanging around also.)

In R.I.P.D., Parker plays Proctor, the sardonic, take-no-nonsense captain of the Boston division of the Rest in Peace Division, which handles undead menaces whenever they pop up and threaten the living. (They pop up a lot.) In the video below, you’ll see us talk about her character’s eccentric personality, and the fortunate position she’s in courtesy of two projects coming out at the same time.
