Jeremy Strong stars in a new Super Bowl spot for Dunkin' Donuts .

The actor says he came up with the idea after an initial pitch from Ben Affleck left him feeling conflicted.

Strong says he's not a very particularly intense person, but a lot of people who know him know him.

He says the commercial was "tantamount to hosting Saturday Night Live".

There’s an element of you poking fun at yourself here, in terms of your public perception.

I was bizarrely committed to this commercial, but I think it's the only way you can do anything—in for a penny , in for a pound.

Ultimately, the real reason I did it, as you can probably surmise, was to do a parody of myself.

The Apprentice has taken on a different valence now after the inauguration.

"This was a role of a lifetime for me. It's incredibly meaningful that it was for this. It’s so upsetting. On an artistic level, this was, for me, the highest level of difficulty," he says.
