While the show, whose creators include Terence Winter, Mick Jagger and Martin Scorsese, picked up mixed reviews for its overheated squalor, Temple is a standout as the record company assistant who turns out to have better ears and sharper instincts than her bosses.
The 26-year-old British actress plays American in “Vinyl,” and said she enjoyed the experience except for the occasional occupational hazard.
“I split my jumpsuit once,” she admitted. “I was wearing a beautiful silk jumpsuit from the actual ’70s, all black with a thong underneath, and the ass gave way. The on-set photographer was the one who told me, so that was pretty embarrassing.”
But the advantage of a show about music, she added, came in the way it connected with fans. “Rather than saying, ‘Oh, my God, I love your show,’ people come up to me and say, ‘Do you want to know the first vinyl I bought and why?’” she said. “It’s cool to get to know people through what music they like.”
