‘Prime Target’s Martha Plimpton On Her Nsa Character & Why This Political Thriller Works: “Never Trust People In Charge”

Spoiler Alert: This story includes details from the finale of Prime Target on Apple.
One of the highlights of Apple’s Prime Target has been the welcome addition of Martha Plimpton as Jane Torres, an Nsa queen who heads of a group of spies who surveil mathematicians all over the globe. Her portrayal of the villainous figure who ends up double-crossing her young charge so she can get her hooks into Leo Woodall’s Edward Brooks has made the twisty series a little less preposterous and a lot more fun.
Here, the veteran actress last seen in The Regime and forever missed as Patty Nyholm on The Good Wife talks about the drama’s finale, what viewers should expect will happen to Jane, and why she thinks the show has resonated so much with viewers.
Deadline: Martha, were you the token American in this British production from New Regency and Scott Free Productions?...
