Cate Blanchett on Rumours, Disclaimer and forgetting her real accent

Cate Blanchett is one of the most respected actors of our time. She’s an onscreen chameleon who transforms into whatever role she plays, taking on whatever accent is required of her, so much so that she says it’s easy to forget what she actually sounds like. She sits down with Tom for a thoughtful conversation about two of her most recent projects — the unique political satire “Rumours” and the psychological thriller series “Disclaimer” — plus, her voice work and how she chooses her roles. Follow and subscribe to our podcast: Q with Tom Power is a daily conversation with the artists, writers, actors and musicians who define this cultural moment in time.
