This week, I’m super excited to introduce my guest: Geoffrey Horne. He studied acting and directing with Lee Strasberg, became a member of the Actor’s Studio where he was influenced by incredible actors, appeared in the first Actor’s Studio production with Geraldine Page and Jane Fonda. He guest-starred on The Green Hornet alongside Bruce Lee, and performed in various plays both on- and off-Broadway. And, Geoffrey Horne was my very first acting teacher.
