Apple TV+’s Severance: Tramell Tillman in Conversation with Naz Perez

Apr 03, 2025

The gripping second season of Apple TV+’s Severance has been hailed as one of the most thought-provoking shows of the year. And as the cheerfully menacing Mr. Milchick, Tramell Tillman delivers a knockout performance. Join him for a conversation and clips from the show as he sheds light on his fascinating, multi-layered, unsettling essence of Seth Milchick.

Following a team of office workers at a mysterious company whose employees have undergone a procedure that surgically divides their memories between their work and personal lives, Severance is one of the biggest hits of the season — a brilliant dystopian vision of work and corporate power. In Season 2, Tillman’s character, Mr. Milchick, has received a promotion — rising to become the manager of the office’s severed floor, a coldhearted company devotee with a mile-wide smile. It is a breakout role for Tillman — one of the most closely-watched character performances of the season.

What is behind Mr. Milchik’s uncanny magnetism? In a special conversation complete with clips from the new episodes, hear Tillman discuss the making of his character — how he got inspiration from his pre-acting professional life, where Mr. Milchick is headed next, stories from the set, and more.
