<p class="p1">You know him as Murray in “Stranger Things,” or Martin in “Fleabag,” or loved him in “Lemon” (the wonderful indie film he also co-wrote), or his countless guest star roles on Comedy Central, Adult Swim, “The Office,” “Curb” (the list goes on), but lately Brett Gelman has been venturing into more serious projects like “McVeigh” and “Lady in the Lake.” On this episode, he talks about the conscious choice to just “do great roles” that often takes him away from comedy. He talks about his relationship to the craft which started in acting school, explains how bombing on stage doing improv was great training for acting, describes why a method approach continues to serve him, makes a plea for us to stop being afraid to “enter into the ugly,” and much more.</p> <p class="p1">Currently you can catch him, and his co-host (and wife) Ari Dayan, on their podcast “<a href= "https://open.spotify.com/show/3VNtGb1WAD0NNZ3w54IXxX?si=8ad69995f3f34ed9">Neurotica,</a>” which gives listeners an unfiltered view into their marriage!

<p class="p1">Adeel Akhtar is a versatile British actor known for his powerful performances across film, television, and theatre. He gained widespread acclaim for his BAFTA-winning role in the BBC drama “Murdered by My Father,” and won another one, a few years later, for “Sherwood.” His other credits in front of the camera include “Four Lions,” “The Big Sick,” “Enola Holmes,” “Utopia,” and “Sweet Tooth.” On stage, Akhtar has appeared in productions at the National Theatre and the Royal Court. Currently he wows audiences as Lopakhin in a new production of Chekhov’s “The Cherry Orchard” at St. Ann’s Warehouse in Brooklyn. On this episode he talks about the pleasures of performing “with complete freedom” in that production, interacting with the audience, and the interesting connections he finds between that character and his own return to theater. Plus he explains why he no longer finds himself over-preparing for a role, shares something a valued teacher gave him that changed his approach to the work, and much more.</p> <p class="p1">Back To One is the in-depth, no-nonsense, actors-on-acting podcast from <a href= "https://filmmakermagazine.com/column/back-to-one-a-podcast-on-acting/#.WvsAWNMvx25"> Filmmaker Magazine</a>.

<p class="p1">Michael Angarano has been acting since he was an infant and has a long resume of memorable work in both comedic and dramatic roles—“Almost Famous,” “Will and Grace,” “This is Us,” “Gentlemen Broncos,” “Oppenheimer,” to name a few. His latest is a wonderful comedy with a lot of heart that he stars in, co-wrote and directed called “Sacramento.” On this episode he talks about the long road of getting that film made, how he needed to adjust once he saw Michael Cera’s approach to the role, and the interesting realization that he may not need to act and direct and write at the same time again. He tells a story about suddenly facing a strange form of stage fright, and the sensitive way Steven Soderbergh helped him get though it. He explains why he says he doesn’t have an acting process, has a particular aversion to relaxation exercises, and much more.</p> <p class="p1">Back To One is the in-depth, no-nonsense, actors-on-acting podcast from <a href= "https://filmmakermagazine.com/column/back-to-one-a-podcast-on-acting/#.WvsAWNMvx25"> Filmmaker Magazine</a>.
