“Cami is someone who is not involved in the business but is in charge his whole life,” Demi said in a recent one Vanity fair interview. ‘They are a couple who built this entire empire and family together.
“Jon said to me at one point, ‘I think this might be the first time I’ve played a character who has a really good relationship, where they have real love and commitment and affection,” she added.
Landman is an adaptation of the 2019 podcast Boomtown.
“Cami and Monty did it. They achieved the dream. But it’s one thing to get there, it’s another to keep it. And I think Billy’s character is the one who has to do all the dirty work,” Demi told the outlet.
“Billy and Ali, their dynamic is going to be extremely fantastic and kind of juicy.”
