But Patinkin is no old hat phoning it in, in fact he told TV Guide that Season 7 is in fact his most rewarding season of the political drama yet.
“The space in-between the lines where the audience could think and place themselves and imagine things they haven’t even considered, at its best that’s what, I hope, Homeland offers the viewer.”
He has one Emmy in addition to five other nominations, three of which are for Homeland.
But that’s not to say the show or the performances turned into the dramatic night-time soapiness of Quantico; Patinkin stressed that on a show like Homeland, the best work is done in the silences.
