Listen "Simon Rex"
Episode Synopsis
He was a model and MTV VJ, and then Simon Rex transitioned to acting, becoming widely recognized for his comedic roles in the "Scary Movie" franchise, where his sharp timing and parody skills made him a fan favorite. But more substantial parts were on the horizon. On this episode, he talks about the job that changed everything, Sean Baker's *Red Rocket," which won him wide acclaim, an Independent Spirt Award, and a fresh chapter in his career. He talks about the interesting new place he finds himself now at the intersection of "not caring and caring SO MUCH." He explains what he had to do to feel confident playing a chef in Zoë Kravitz's directorial debut "Blink Twice," learning that "to simply par the course" is enough, and sometimes "you don't have to slap the fish." Plus 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
