Besides being a fascinating subject, AMC's limited series "Quiz" in May also has a great cast of favorites, with Matthew Macfayden of "Succession" and Sian Clifford of "Fleabag." The story of the scandal behind the UK's "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" premieres in May. #TCA20

Sheen saw earlier versions of Millionaire when he did research for #Quiz and it didn't have the heartbeat or music. Says when it found its groove, you can't imagine it being anything else. #TCA20

Michael Sheen says he opted for a wig to play Chris Tarrant in QUIZ because after dying his hair blonde for Good Omens, he wasn't going to do that again. #TCA20

Michael Sheen says the "wig does all the heavy lifting, really" when talking about playing Chris Tarrant in #AMCTV's upcoming #Quiz #TCA20

Sheen watched as much of the original show and its evolution as he could. Also watched interviews with Chris Tarrant and Charles Ingram. He looked for little things about Tarrant to inform his performance. #TCA20 #Quiz

Sheen met Chris Tarrant at an event after he finished shooting #Quiz. Tarrant said, "You don't look anything like me!" and then they had a chat. He doesn't know if Tarrant has seen the series. #TCA20

"Being on a Quiz show, you forget how to be yourself," says Michael Sheen. Adding that he's done it recently, and he's an actor and used to being on screen, and he still felt out of place. #AMCNetworks #TCA20 #Quiz

Michael Sheen found it fascinating that until he was on the set, he didn't realize how close everyone was to each other on the game show set. He was also surprised by how much the music, lights and sound effects affected you. #Quiz #TCA20

Sheen has huge admiration for the way Chris Tarrant was the master of the Millionaire set. Sian Clifford notes that the Millionaire music was meant to get under your skin. She says it blew her mind to find out about the syndicate of people & what happened behind the scenes #TCA20

This is the ONLY TCA screener that I watched more than one of. I watched them all. I loved it.
