Listen "Luke Tennie"
Episode Synopsis
To be a standout on a show featuring Jason Segel and Harrison Ford is quite a feat, but that's exactly what Luke Tennie did in his breakthrough role as Sean in the hit Apple TV+ series "Shrinking." On this episode, the seemingly effortlessly-talented young actor takes us back to his early days and details how football played a pivotal part in helping him with the disciplines required for acting. He explains his belief that there can be no real "play" without massive preparation; talks about coming to a place of understanding that auditioning is simply a "demonstration of my capabilities;" tells a hilarious story about his first job, working with Rob Reiner, which ends up being a lesson in letting go, plus much more. The second season of "Shrinking" is dropping this fall and Tennie also has a small part in the eagerly anticipated film "Nickel Boys" which is scheduled to be released on October 25th. 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
