Transcript for 'The Heiress' Stars Dish on Making Broadway Debut

I'm so happy to be sitting here with jessica chastain and dan stevens. Both of whom are taking over the bright lights of broadway, hitting the stage in "the heiress," about an heiress and a passionate suitor that may or may not be after her for her money. I love this because you don't know. I'll start with you, dan. We like to keep them guessing. That's the fun of this play. The audience reacts in different ways. How about you? I know you've been involved in theater your whole life. I've done more plays than films. It's surprising to people because all of a sudden -- we hear about you a lot. Everywhere, in movies. It's been really great. This is my broadway debut. It's been a dream to be on broadway. And to be here with this ensemble and to meet dan who is wonderful. And the play is very exciting. It is a great pairing. I want to ask you because your character has to be a little bit plain. But in real life, you're so far from plain. And we were talking before. Thanks.

When we did that scene together, I knew we really -- we had a connection. I really felt that. You're unrecognizable. I like to slip into my roles. And you have the british accent down pat. Speaking of "downton abbey," when people heard you were on the show today, we were inundated on social media. Find out if he's going to stay. Will you or will you not?
