But the only way that jury's gonna know it, Dick, is if they hear it straight from me.

All this jury has heard this whole trial is how much you have lied to everybody about everything.

To your clients, law enforcement, to your friends and family.

Your credibility is in the goddamn septic tank at this point.

I strongly advised you against doing this.

Then you got some idea how much time I spent in this courtroom as a kid upstairs at the state's table while my daddy and my granddaddy put away murderers, rapists, and

Now, you got your crime scene expert, you got your weapons expert.

But if they want to try me for something, this Goddard full of my family stuff.

The defendant, Richard Alexander Murdoch, wishes to take the stand.

Welcome back to the Murdoch Death in the Family official podcast.

Today I'm talking with actor Jason Clark, whose portrayal of Ella Murdoch was so convincing and authentic that when the trailer for the series dropped in September, former friends and colleagues of Ellick would text me, awestruck at the similarities.

When we first started the Murdoch Murders podcast In June of 2021, our first episode title was South Carolina's Chappaquiddick, a reference to the 2017 feature film in which Jason Clarke portrays Ted Kennedy.

When I first heard that Jason had agreed to play Alec Murdoch, it felt like one of those full circle, meant to be moments.

Jason's impeccably studied transformation into Alec Murdoch's character is nothing short of mesmerizing.

He is blustery, nuanced, charming, and terrifying, just like the real Alec Murdoch, according to my sources.

And now here is my conversation with the Jason Clark.

And I have to start by telling you that I saw you so many times on set, and

I was terrified to speak with because you had.

You embodied E.C. murdock in a terrifying way, and that's a good thing.

murdock in real life, and you were more intimidating, I think, than he was.

And you were always just so much in character that I never wanted to bother you.

I was like, wow, that guy is really, really dedicated to the role.

So I was like, no, he is in full Alex Murdock mode.

That's interesting that you say that, because.

Yeah, he was obviously not, you know, he was a very happy, magnanimous, upstanding, you know, thing of the community who'd been there for a long, long time and, you know, and

I mean, I just remember seeing him for the first time in Paul Murdoch's boat crash hearing in 2019, and

he was like the life of the party in a courtroom.

It was a very strange thing, shaking hand.

I mean, maybe behind the scenes I was intimidating, but

on set, I tried to be the life of the party.

But you did a really good job of transitioning between, like, the monster that he was, and

But so my first question is, obviously, you transformed into E.C.

murdock in such a visceral and thorough way, and it has had everyone in complete shock.

My phone is blowing up again today with people who knew Alec Murdock.

I live in South Carolina, so I have a lot of friends who knew him very, very well.

Cause they're seeing it now, aren't they?

They're seeing him for the first time and they.

What was it like the first time that you transformed and saw yourself in the mirror?

I mean, that's always a very important time whenever you play anybody, you know, I mean, you kind of like.

You know, when you see them crisscrossing and all that waiting for the start.

You're preparing, you're moving, you're whatever, but you're looking at.

To get ready to go, which is first day on set.

Because it's, you know, you gotta cross that line.

I can feel myself getting around it, getting close to it.

You know, there's the hair and the makeup.

Everyone's starting to, you know, contribute their jobs.

The wardrobe, they're putting on top of everything that you've done.

You know, at that point, the weight was really coming on for me.

You know, it takes a lot to destroy your metabolism, essentially, so that your body's not processing much and you're just adding and Adding and adding.

And so it was piling on and my body was, you know, I was starting to feel the effects of that.

You know, I'm just trying to say that, you know, because I do remember walking in and looking.

I remember, I can literally remember walking and looking at the full length mirror and going, damn, you know, this is, this is my next six months, you know.

And you know, yeah, I, you know, I take a couple of snaps and I send a couple of snaps off to a couple of key people that I trust and I just go, you know, thoughts, you know, can you see, you know, anything standing out as wrong or anything that.
