Unlike the first season, season two will feature a female officer played by<em> Mean Girls<\/em> star <em>Rachel McAdams<\/em>. McAdams spoke about what she calls &#8220;the job of a lifetime&#8221; in an interview with <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marieclaire.com\/celebrity\/a14346\/rachel-mcadams-june-cover\/\">Marie Claire<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding why she loves acting, McAdams pinpoints a very simple reason. &#8220;<span id=\"textmarker_0\" class=\"textmarker textmarker_0\">What I love is dropping into someone else&#8217;s life and exploring it<\/span>.&#8221; She continues, &#8220;<span id=\"textmarker_2\" class=\"textmarker textmarker_2\">I love the exploration of someone who has such a different background from you. That exploration runs to compassion, and to cracking yourself open and creating more understanding of how weird and amazing life is.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Though McAdams is a popular actress, in many of her roles she has played less central roles as a wife or girlfriend of the protagonist, like in <em>Wedding Crashers<\/em>, <em>Sherlock Holmes<\/em>, <em>Midnight in Paris<\/em>, and <em>About Time<\/em>. That is why she is so excited about her role in <em>True Detective<\/em> as the rough-living chain-smoking cop Ani Bezzerides. McAdams explains, <span id=\"textmarker_3\" class=\"textmarker textmarker_3\">&#8220;I love that she&#8217;s not the girlfriend or the wife. She doesn&#8217;t really care what everyone thinks; she feels no responsibility for other people&#8217;s feelings. She&#8217;s not trying to be charming, which isn&#8217;t always the case with a leading lady. There&#8217;s [usually] sort of a responsibility to be a little bit likeable\u2026 Not that you want to be a horrendous character, just a little more human.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;What I love is dropping into someone else&#8217;s life and exploring it&#8221;
