Among the talented ensemble in Netflix’s limited series The Perfect Couple is Donna Lynne Champlin, who memorably portrays the rather grumpy Detective Nikki Henry, who is investigating the many members of a wealthy family after the death of a wedding guest. Detective Henry has little patience for any of them but works hard with Nantucket Police Chief Dan Carter (Michael Beach) to unravel the case.
Awards Buzz spoke with Champlin about mastering that very specific New England accent and using her own family as a barometer for its authenticity. Watch the video above to hear about her positive experiences on Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and her take on leading versus supporting roles.
The Perfect Couple is streaming on Netflix.
