Della Rovere's scheming is not lost on Alexander and Cesare, who redouble their efforts to take him down permanently. The cunning head of the powerful Sforza clan of Milan, Catherina is one of the Pope's chief rivals for power on the Italian peninsula.
Known for her military prowess, she roundly defeated Juan Borgia and the papal armies in their siege at Forli, her fortified castle. Now bent on revenge, Catherina will stop at nothing in her desire to bring the Borgias down. One of the Borgias' most trusted confidantes also happens to be a Sforza, Catherina's cousin. With the two families locked in a dangerous power struggle, the good cardinal just might be the key to its resolution, depending on which side he chooses to take.
Rufio is a ruthless assassin working under Cardinal Sforza, as a student of the art of death. He is sent to Rome by his patron to bring about the Borgias' downfall, and he tries to enlist Cardinal Sforza's help in doing so. Get Showtime Schedules. The Borgias. Jump To New in Season 3. Rodrigo Borgia Played by Jeremy Irons Both ruthlessly ambitious and utterly devoted to his family, the head of the Borgia clan uses his position in the Catholic church to acquire and consolidate power, influence, and wealth.
Cesare Borgia Played by Francois Arnaud Forced into the priesthood by his father, Cesare is, in reality, violent, dashing, and cavalier. Lucrezia Borgia Played by Holliday Grainger A beautiful young woman who is also wise beyond her years, Lucrezia holds a special place in her father, Pope Alexander's heart.
Vanozza dei Catannei Played by Joanne Whalley The refined, aging former mistress of Alexander, Vanozza is also the mother of his children. Giulia Farnese Played by Lotte Verbeek The ravishing temptress who came to the Pope seeking redemption and ended up in his bed, Giulia quickly uses her new elevated position to amass power and influence of her own.
He was about to pronounce those words and I think that Cesare knows that since it didn't happen then, it's probably not going to happen ever. And so he's kind of moved on already. He still loves his father, but I think he feels that he needs to take control in order to protect his father and himself.
This season is a lot about the outside threats. Before they can achieve that, there's still a conflict to be resolved between the father and the son. And the climax of that is probably Episode 9 right before the big finale. It finally happens: Cesare and Lucrezia together. Was Budapest fun? After three season is it easier and more familiar? Oh, yeah. Although I don't speak Hungarian. That's why I have a hard time saying I live in Budapest. But I can say maybe a hundred words in Hungarian. I can order a drink.
You shot a film and are starting another What's the difference between TV and movies? Do you prefer one? There's more room for character studies on TV now. I feel that a lot of film is fairy-tale adaptations, superhero movies. It's always very black and white who's good and who's evil. And in something like "The Borgias," we try to understand what pushes people to commit horrible actions and I think it makes your job as an actor more interesting, more complex. I'd rather do that any day than playing a dumb character in a movie.
But film is great. Film is great because you tell a story from beginning to end. I don't particularly think about viewership and ratings and it won't influence the storytelling at all.
I mean it's true and it's not true, but. I'm scared of making comparisons to TV because I feel like on "The Borgias" we're really blessed to work outside of L. Showtime completely trusts Neil. We don't have studio executives behind the monitor giving notes to the director. It feels very much like a film bubble. I like to work in independant film as well, which is what I did in the past year.
I did a little movie called "Copperhead" that we did some reshoots recently in LA. It's coming out June 28, I think. It's a war movie. Billy Campbell, Peter Fonda are in it. Yeah, it was a great script. I haven't seen the movie but it's great because again, there's no good or evil. It talks about people who were anti-war and who were dismissed and traitors to the nation or racists. I also did a movie in Belgium in January, a contemporary comedy that was different.
And I'm really looking forward to seeing it. Who do you play in "Copperhead"? I play a pretty cocky soldier who thinks that anyone who is not running to war is a traitor. And he comes back home after being injured and I think he just realized how much war has changed him. They planned four seasons of "The Borgias" and you could be going back to do Season 4 soon.
