The guys debate America's fascination with character acting. We respond to Ira Sach's comment on our last pod!
Oh, and we discuss Phantom Thread in depth, and the differences in acting style between Daniel Day Lewis and Vicky Krieps.
Also... The stylistic differences in what Ryan and David look for in performances.
And the most revealing topic of discussion...how would we each go about playing a medieval queen who believes she's ordained by god for the throne? We debate.
Then we get into what we're working on right now as actors, all things happening at Adult Film, and David's play.
Before we end we talk about figuring out our dynamic on the pod and what we actually want out of this career.... and this life.
Okay bye.
