The Affair tells the story of, well, an affair, now from the four perspectives of the people involved. There's Noah (Dominic West) and Alison (Ruth Wilson), the adulterers and their soon-to-be former spouses Helen (Maura Tierney) and Cole (Joshua Jackson).

Last season told the story from just Noah and Alison's point of views, season two added Cole and Alison. The actors have a lot of experience dealing with versions of the truth through various points of view, so we had to ask: Whose real-life point of view would they like to see?

"Oh wow, that's a good question," Wilson told us. "Vivienne Westwood, I quite like her. She's quite a legend. Do you know who she is? She's got quite an interesting worldview. She talks a lot. She drove a tank the other day to our prime minister's house, which I think is brilliant, so I'd like to get into her brain. Yeah, driving a tank. Legend!"

"I don't know. Karl Lagerfeld," Tierney said. "I don't know, I'm just copying Ruth…Donald Trump!"

"We already know what Donald Trump's point of view is because he tells us all the time," Jackson said when we told him what his costar said. "I would like to see…who has had an interesting life? I'd like to see Bono's life, actually no, I'd like to see The Edge's life…I just feel like that travel from Dublin in the '50s and '60s to world conquering rock star and back again would be a pretty good one."

The Affair airs Sundays, 10 p.m. on Showtime. In the video below, see the cast back before season one premiered.
