If you want to know how far television has come in the past 25 years, think about the fact that there’s a crime dramedy currently on that features an Oscar nominee and an Oscar winner sharing the small screen — and playing father and son no less!That’s exactly what we’re geting with The Lowdown‘s second season. The FX series is doubling down on the shenanigans of investigative journalist Lee Raybon (Ethan Hawke), as we dive into more of what makes him tick. Chiefly, that includes getting a look at the man who raised him, as Season 2 introduces us to his con artist father, Lee Sr. (Tommy Lee Jones).

The two acting legends get the chance to sit down with ABC News Correspondent Stephanie Ramos on tonight’s episode of Nightline, talking about the unique dynamic we’ve seen between the two guys over half the season. And, in an exclusive sneak peek of the episode from Parade, we hear how much the pair find themselves resonating with their on-screen counterparts.
“I was laughing out loud,” Ramos says to kick off the clip about The Lowdown. “It’s a mystery, it’s got crime in there, and literally laughing out out. “The show is also a lot about being a good man, a good father. With your character, do you see a part of yourself in Lee Raybon, this truthstorian?”“I don’t know what Tommy would say,” Hawke replies. “But I think if you’re gonna play a part, any part, well, you have to see an aspect of yourself inside the person.“This person is a person I would like to be near,” he continues. “He’s exasperating, he’s an idiot. I see him as kind of a Don Quixote figure. One part fool and one part noble. “The attention is then turned to Jones and his role as the prodigal Lee Sr., who helps muscle himself into the mystery (to his son’s chagrin).
“What were your initial thoughts about playing someone like Frog?” Ramos asks, referring to the elder Lee’s nickname.“I thought this could be a hell of a lot of fun!” the Oscar winner simply replies, to a laugh.Check out the exclusive sneak peek above. The Nightline interview airs tonight at 12:35 a.m. ET on ABC, ahead of a new episode of The Lowdown airing on Wednesday, Nov. 11 on FX.
