Poppy Liu on Their Curious Character in the Very Queer ‘Dead Ringers’

Poppy Liu and Rachel Weisz“When you watch her, you’re kind of like What drives you?” actor and artist Poppy Liu says of their character Greta, the sartorially gifted assistant/housekeeper to Rachel Weisz’s brilliant and codependent Mantle twins in the new Dead Ringers series. The wild and often unhinged Elliot and her more reserved sister Beverly play out games of codependency in their sterile Manhattan flat while Greta lingers almost out of frame continually observing their rarified world. It’s not clear until several episodes into the Prime Video series what Greta’s motives are, but even as she’s at the margins of many of the scenes, it’s impossible not to notice her front-row voyeurism. And that act of looking is part of Greta’s contribution to the series that is queer to the core.
