In this episode, I hang out with Delaney Keith. Delaney is an actor inspired by nonlinear plots and uninhibited public emotions. Learning and letting go. She describes different forms of acting, from dogmatic methods to more free form and spontaneous. Listen to find out her dream role. Acting influences like Frances McDormand, Jessica Chastain, Audrey Hepburn, Laura Linney, Meryl Streep, Oscar Isaac, Greta Gerwig, and Robert De Niro. Movie Influences like Seven Samurai, The Big Lebowski, and Frances Ha. She shares the importance of having craft, developing craft, but then being able to let it go. She’s inspired by the trajectory of different actor success stories like Jessica Chastain’s in The Eyes of Tammy Faye. We talk about how the movie Synecdoche, New York affected us. How important it is to be moved or affected by art and challenged by unconventional ways of it being done. Find out who her celebrity crush is. We talk about handling critique and not letting what others say affect your vision. She shares the importance of being aware of the blanket statements we make about ourselves, the all or nothing thinking. Recommending to dare to be boring, dare to be bad at stuff because nobody’s judgement matters and we are on a floating rock in space. Enjoy!
