Bill Camp's Favorite Scene in 'Presumed Innocent' Required So Much More from Him Than He'll Admit

"The veteran actors, who've been married for more than two decades, were cast as husband and wife Raymond and Lorraine Horgan. They've done this before, in what Camp referred to as "a long history of acting together," and their personal and professional collaborations lent their characters the sought-after ease of a long-married couple, as well as the elevated stakes when their tried-and-true relationship is pushed to an unexpected edge."

"Near the end of Episode 2, "People vs. Rozat Sabich," Raymond and Lorraine are getting ready for bed - flossing and brushing their teeth in their bathroom vanity with a double sink. ("Beth and I have a much smaller bathroom," Camp said, laughing. "So we had to get used to that.") But as they perform their nightly pre-bed ritual, they're also having a "really crucial" conversation. Raymond, who just lost an election and was planning to retire, is weighing whether to defend his best friend, Rusty (Jake Gyllenhaal), in a very public murder trial. Lorraine wants to support Raymond, but she also needs to understand his choice. After all, it impacts them both."

Bill Camp and Elizabeth Marvel, married actors of more than two decades, were cast as Raymond and Lorraine Horgan in Presumed Innocent. Their long history of acting together provided an authentic ease for a long-married couple and raised emotional stakes when the relationship is tested. The chosen scene occurs near the end of Episode 2, "People vs. Rozat Sabich," where the couple flosses and brushes their teeth at a double sink while having a crucial conversation. Raymond, freshly defeated in an election and considering retirement, contemplates defending his friend Rusty in a public murder trial, which would affect both of them and involve motivations beyond simple loyalty.
