Listen "Cory Michael Smith"
Episode Synopsis
"There are practical paths and intuitive paths with each character," says Cory Michael Smith at the start of this episode, and it's a recurring theme throughout. The talented actor was Riddler on the series "Gotham," a standout in three Todd Haynes films, and now plays Chevy Chase in "Saturday Night." On this episode he details the careful process of studying Chevy clips for months before diving into the script. He talks about the importance of "ridding myself of any hint of fraudulence," why it's so important for him to show up with lots of ideas, how being intentional with his career choices allows him to better serve the work, and much more. Back To One is the in-depth, no-nonsense, actors-on-acting podcast from Filmmaker Magazine. In each episode, host Peter Rinaldi invites one working actor to do a deep dive into their unique process, psychology, and approach to the craft. Follow Back To One on Instagram
