caution: Some minor spoilers for the series ‘Dope Thief’ lie ahead. To stay updated, watch the initial three episodes which are available with an Apple TV+ subscription.
If you’re keeping pace with the 2025 TV lineup like myself, then you’ve likely tuned into the latest Apple TV+ series, “Dope Thief”. This show is a must-watch, especially for the scenes starring Kate Mulgrew and Brian Tyree Henry. In Episode 3, a scene where Mulgrew’s character, Theresa, slaps Henry’s character, Ray, was so captivating that it made me spit out my drink in surprise! I found myself eager to know more about this scene, so I decided to ask the actress herself about it.
The scene arises when Ray admits his actions involving Manny – impersonating a DEA agent to burglarize homes for money, some of which he gave to her. Theresa reacts swiftly by slapping him, and I can’t help but chuckle at the spontaneity. When I questioned the actress about this particular moment on set, she described it as “delightful” to perform and attributed their success in capturing the scene so seamlessly to the palpable energy between her and Henry.
The interaction between Brian and me felt instinctive. This dynamic emerged from an electrifying atmosphere, coupled with the chaos in the room, as well as the liberty granted by the large script that allows you to explore any creative direction when fully engrossed in your character and aware of your collaboration with fellow actors. This understanding was implicit within us, and it seemed as though a spark ignited every dark corner. ‘Break free.’ It was exhilarating to perform. Truly enjoyable. I encountered numerous such moments. I cherished them deeply.
As a cinema enthusiast, I must say, the on-screen chemistry between Mulgrew and Henry, despite never having acted together prior, was utterly convincing in that scene. They skillfully portrayed the intricate relationship between Theresa and Ray, capturing both the role of Ray’s parental figure and their complex dynamics with an authenticity that left me spellbound. Needless to say, these two veterans have once again proven their mastery over their craft.

During this period, you’ll have access to watch all three episodes of the latest series, along with beloved Apple TV+ originals like “Ted Lasso” and “Severance.” Don’t miss out on this deal!
To be completely honest, it wasn’t all that unexpected. As an alumnus of the prestigious Yale School of Drama, Henry has been gracing both the big and small screens with his exceptional talent for quite some time now. Many are familiar with him from the critically acclaimed FX series, “Atlanta,” but he’s also made appearances in numerous other renowned productions, such as “Eternals,” “Class of ’09,” and the blockbuster “Godzilla vs. Kong.
In a similar vein, Mulgrew has a long career behind her, dating back to the 1970s, with NYU being her university of origin. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing her on a personal level from her time on the Orange is the New Black cast, but she’s also widely recognized for her role as Kathryn Janeway in Star Trek, along with appearances in Ryan’s Hope and The First Lady, among other productions. Having these two skilled and experienced actors sharing the screen was a joy, undeniably enhancing the quality of television.
I’m really enjoying Peter Craig’s “Dope Thief” and the thrilling journey these characters are on. With these two main characters, every scene they’re in promises to be iconic – although that slap might just outshine them all! If you’d like to watch “Dope Thief,” new episodes air every Friday.
