In the Netflix series “Zero Day,” actor Jesse Plemons plays Roger Carlson, an aide to a former US president. The show deliberately avoids specifying whether characters are Democrats or Republicans. Plemons explains that revealing political affiliations can cause viewers to immediately form opinions, potentially disengaging them from the narrative. He notes that this ambiguity allows for a more immersive viewing experience. Plemons, who has worked with Robert De Niro in previous projects, describes his character as protective, likening him to a talent agent. This role marks his first TV series appearance, and he appreciates the opportunity to explore a character not based on any real-life political figure but rather on personal experiences.
