Randolph’s Emmy nod comes from her appearance in the “Sitzprobe” episode of Only Murders in the Building Season 3 , where her character makes a memorable entrance filled with humor and grit.
Randolph’s sharp-tongued entry in the “Sitzprobe” episode is a blend of scripted lines and improv.
“The beauty of growing with a character over multiple seasons is that both the writers and I understand her so well,” she says. “That first line was all them, but from there, we got to play.”
Randolph’s chemistry with the show’s cast shines through, especially in scenes where she leans into physical comedy—a style she particularly enjoys.
Working with Comedy Legends Steve Martin and Martin Short
After three seasons of sparring with Martin and Short, Randolph is full of praise for the duo.
“It’s amazing to work with two best friends who have zero ego,” she says. “What I admire most is their childlike wonder and commitment to the craft. Despite all they’ve accomplished, they approach each scene with fresh excitement and playfulness.”
Since winning the Academy Award , Randolph’s inbox has been flooded with offers. But she remains selective, prioritizing projects that align with her vision .
“The volume has definitely increased, but it’s important to discern what’s truly right for you,” she explains. “Just because there’s more doesn’t mean it’s the right fit. As an actor of color , I want to break free from being pigeonholed. Now, I have the privilege to be strategic and build a lasting legacy .”
Randolph’s commitment to both independent art-house films and larger commercial projects reflects her desire to showcase all her talents.
As she continues to break new ground, it’s clear that Da’Vine Joy Randolph isn’t just having a breakout year—she’s shaping an enduring career that defies limitations.
