Amy Hargreaves is an actress you may know best as Maggie Mathieson on Homeland. You may have also seen her in films like Michael Clayton and Blue Ruin. Currently she stars in Netflix’s 13 Reasons Why, which our Alan Sepinwall describes as a “haunting, slow-motion drama.” Additionally, Hargreaves will star in the upcoming thriller Super Dark Times which will premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival on April 20th. Hargreaves was nice enough to make time to participate in our 20 questions questionnaire series recently.

1. You walk into a bar. What do you order from the bartender

This has to be a seasonal answer: Spring — Sancerre or a margarita rocks/salt. Summer — rosé. Fall — that Belgian beer they float the orange slice in, I forget what it’s called. Winter — pinot noir.

2. Who’s your favorite person to follow on Twitter and/or Instagram

My kids on IG. I lurk. That’s just responsible parenting in 2017. Twitter- I’m still crushing on @laurenduca.

3. What’s currently waiting for you on your DVR or in your streaming queue

The Walking Dead, Project Runway Junior, Call the Midwife, Peaky Blinders.

4. It’s your last meal — what are you going out with

NY Times, Dlisted, IMDb, Curbed, DNA Info.

6. What’s the most frequently played song on your mobile device

I’ve got the Oscar Peterson Pandora station stuck on top for a while now. But when I’m walking to the subway it’s MJ: “Rock With You” or “Off the Wall.”

7. If you could go back and give your 18-year-old self one piece of advice what would it be

Set boundaries. Put your foot down. Be patient.

8. What’s the last thing you Googled

The weather in NYC. I’m in sunny LA right now and I felt the need to confirm the rumor that it is cold and pouring back home.

9. Dogs or cats

Dogs. Or rather dog- my sweet dog Fred.

10. Best concert of your life was…

All of the ones I went to with my friends at Jones Beach in the summers when I was a teenager. INXS, Berlin, Paul Young, The Thompson Twins, Rod Stewart….

Collum McAnn’s This Side of Brightness, or Gary Shteyngart’s Absurdistan.

Family Guy.

14. You have an entire day to do whatever you want. What would you do

Relax in the shade — poolside — someplace warm (the South of France) with a great book. My kids are nearby but not being pains. Someone else makes a beautiful lunch that we all eat together, then that same someone else does the dishes. Then I take a nap.

Splash.

Roger Taylor, the drummer from Duran Duran. There were many posters. There were real actual tears at the concert. It was weird.

20. What would you cook if Nic Cage were coming to your house for dinner

A chicken with lemons and garlic, roasted potatoes with rosemary, green salad with a shallot vinaigrette, and an apple cake for desert. That’s just a good classic menu, which I think he would appreciate. Hope he’s not vegetarian.
