Jeremy Renner Opens Up About His ‘Mayor of Kingstown’ Character 

Following the premiere of Mayor of Kingstown, Jeremy Renner spoke to Collider about his character, Mike McLusky. “There was a lot I had to learn about,” Renner explains. “Within the shorthand of the prison dialogue and what all of this stuff meant. Because it’s spoken so off-the-cuff and slang-like.”

The Mayor of Kingstown star further explained that the audience may get behind on some of the dialogue. “The more we make sense of it and we show it, then they’ll get what we’re talking about.”

Renner also spoke about how Mayor of Kingstown creator, Taylor Sheridan writes the storylines and characters. “Taylor writes it that way because it’s the truth of the matter. We don’t pull any punches. Everything in it is there for a reason. You don’t just gloss over it.”

Renner went on to discuss the Mayor of Kingstown creator’s writing itself. “It’s sometimes harrowing, sometimes uncomfortable, sometimes it’s even funny, but there’s something unapologetic about Taylor’s writing.”

When asked how he views the “family business” in Mayor of Kingstown, Renner shared, “It starts off as an outreach center. As an advocate for inmates. That’s the initial job. But with that, when you give inmates voices, you have to understand other people’s jobs and the prison system itself and incarceration.”

The Mayor of Kingstown also describes the business as “swimming in different shades of gray.” He explained, “There’s nothing black and white about any of this. There’s always something looming. Because people also don’t understand why [Mike] has this power. Or why they would call him the mayor. [Mike] was in prison for 10 years. He knows how that works. He has connections with the people in the prison.”
