‘The Night Of’s Bill Camp hunts terrorists for the FBI in hard-hitting al-Qaeda miniseries

Bill Camp as FBI agent Robert Chesney. ONGTIME theater actor Bill Camp impressed viewers with his quietly intense portrayal of Dennis Box in the 2016 summer series “The Night Of” on HBO. Box was a detective who was about to retire from the NYPD when he took on the case of an American-born Muslim arrested for a brutal murder. Camp earned himself an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or TV Movie.

Camp plays another law-enforcement professional about to hang up his spurs in the Hulu limited series “The Looming Tower,” an exploration of how the turf war between the FBI and the CIA may have helped Osama bin Laden advance his mission against the US. As fictitious FBI agent Robert Chesney, Camp displays frightening interrogation skills in a scene with one of the two men responsible for the 1998 bombing of the US Embassy in Nairobi, Kenya. Filmed in South Africa, the series also stars Jeff Daniels and Alec Baldwin as CIA director George Tenet.

The actor, who lives in Brooklyn with his wife, actress Elizabeth Marvel (“Homeland”), spoke to The Post from Florida, where they were on vacation together.

Who is Bob Chesney?

Spouses Elizabeth Marvel and Bill Camp have both played the US president. He is an FBI agent who has a lot of experience working domestically in terms of organized crime in the US, but he’s fastapproaching retirement.

The series establishes a chain of disasters that leads to 9/11. Do you think viewers will find those events painful to watch now?

I think it’s going to be difficult for viewers who remember what happened. As difficult as that is, I think it’s important as a citizenry to look at the show and see if we can learn from the mistakes we have made.

Your wife is playing the US president on “Homeland.” Has that changed her personality?

No. It’s been very exciting and fun for us. Working on that “Homeland” team has been an extraordinary experience for her. We had a period of time when we were both playing the president. I play the president in a film you’ll see in the next year [he won’t give the name].

Will there be new episodes of “The Night Of”?

That would be a great gig. To work with Richard [Price, executive producer] and HBO and John [Turturro] again. These are all things I dream of.
