THE SHARDS Scene: Thom Voices Fears Over Robert's Motives to Bret
A quiet dance practice becomes the setting for a tense confession between two classmates.
A new scene from FX's THE SHARDS finds Thom, played by Graham Campbell, opening up to his classmate Bret, played by Igby Rigney, about growing suspicions surrounding fellow student Robert and his relationship with Susan. The exchange takes place while the pair practice for Dance Off!, giving the tense conversation an incongruously casual backdrop as Thom lays out his concerns.
Campbell's Thom has been a recurring flashpoint in the series, previously coming to blows with Robert, played by Homer Gere, at a house party in front of Susan and their peers. That earlier clash set the stage for the wariness Thom voices toward Bret in this new scene, as the tightly knit group of prep school seniors continues to splinter under mounting suspicion.
THE SHARDS is executive produced by Ryan Murphy and adapted from the bestselling novel by Bret Easton Ellis. Set in 1980s Los Angeles, the series follows a group of privileged high school seniors at an elite prep school navigating identity, jealousy and obsession, with something more sinister lurking beneath their insulated world. This scene comes from the show's fifth episode.
The relationship between Thom and his classmates has been a recurring thread in the show's promotional rollout. THE SHARDS Scene Shows Robert and Thom's Feud Erupt Into Party Brawl detailed the earlier confrontation that set this latest exchange in motion.
