Listen "Dolly de Leon"
Episode Synopsis
Dolly de Leon is a Filipina veteran actor of film and TV who is now, due to her outstanding performance in "Triangle of Sadness," being spoken about with words like "newcomer" and "breakthrough." That might have something to do with the "I'm the captain now" nature of the role she plays in the Palme d'Or winning film. It's like the character and the actor are both saying "I have arrived." In this episode, she describes the dark place she was in right before auditioning for the part, how director Ruben Ostlund's collaborative approach sparked her dynamic creativity, why watching the film with audiences cheering for her character feels like live theater, and much more. Follow Back To One on Instagram 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. No small talk, no celebrity stories, no inane banter—just the work.
