Listen "John Carroll Lynch"
Episode Synopsis
John Carroll Lynch has delivered so many performances, on so many sets, for both the big and small screen, that it is almost ridiculous. Just a few highlights of his hundreds of credits include: "The Drew Carey Show," "Fargo," "Zodiac," "Big Sky," "American Horror Story," "The Trial of The Chicago 7", and his latest, "Sorry Baby". On this episode, he gives us a deep dive into his approach to the work, and how it has evolved over the years. He explains the benefits of highlighting the text based on lexical categories, how directing his first feature "Lucky" (with Harry Dean Stanton) changed his approach to acting, why he no longer believes his first impressions of a character holds as much significance, the importance of incorporating (and not erasing) everything and everyone on set into the process, 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
