Watch "The Good Lord Bird" on Showtime

Mark you calendars, The Good Lord Bird premieres this Sunday August 9th on Showtime! Back in April before all the pandemic craziness took hold, actor Steve Zahn was in the studios of Dynamix recording dialog replacement lines (ADR) for the seven-part limited series. Zahn plays the character "Chase" in the show.
Many television shows and movies require dialog to be re-recorded because of noisy locations, script changes, or performance tweaks. ADR involves the actor watching the scene to be fixed on a video screen while performing the new lines again. Precise synchronization, count-in cues, and microphone placement are paramount to success. During the ADR session, Dynamix was connected in real time over the internet with directors in various other locations. As they watched the video, they simultaneously heard new dialog lines as they were recorded. They were then able to immediately make any necessary adjustments or suggestions to the performance.
Series synopsis:
Ethan Hawke stars as abolitionist John Brown in this Limited Event Series based on the award-winning novel. The story is told from the point of view of "Onion," a fictional enslaved boy who becomes a member of Brown's motley family of abolitionist soldiers battling slavery in Kansas, and eventually finds himself in the famous 1859 Army depot raid at Harpers Ferry, an inciting incident of the Civil War. It's a humorous and dramatic tale of Antebellum America and the ever-changing roles of race, religion and gender in American society.
