CHAZELLE But you must have had to bury yourself for a while just to create Hamilton. Did you feel like the outside world was going, "What the hell are you doing?" MIRANDA Everyone goes through this, whether you're even in the arts or not. What are the things you do to support your family and keep going while you're doubling down on the passion project? I was on a TV show [Do No Harm] that made the record of the lowest-rated debut in the history of NBC. RAE Oh yeah. MIRANDA But I took that job because they told me they were going to kill me off at the end of the first season, and it shot in Philly, not L.A., so I could stay home. I was No. 5 on the call sheet. It was a lot of great theater actors, like Phylicia Rashad and Steve Pasquale and Mike Esper. CHAZELLE I've got to watch this now. MIRANDA It was notorious because it had one of the worst advertising [campaigns], it was like a Jekyll-and-Hyde doctor plot. And it was a guy who had his hands and there was a face on his hands. GLOVER Oh yeah. I remember those posters. MIRANDA Paul F. Tompkins used to call him Dr. Facehands because the sign was up all over L.A. But to me, that was my Hamilton residency. I was making a living, I was only working two days a week, and I was going to historical Philly where I would go do research on Hamilton. I wrote "Satisfied" in my trailer. So everyone, you balance those things out.
