Episode 56 - Helen, Bob, James & John: An Actor's Life (2010: The Year We Make Content)
An inspiring, surprising, and occasionally silly hour with four of the finest actors in film history. Thanks to the Peter Hyams - Penny Perry secret sauce of perfect casting, we’re exploring the legacy and creative lives of four acting legends: Helen Mirren, Bob Balaban, James McEachin, and John Lithgow. What they each brought to 2010 and how they epitomize their roles of Captain Kirbuk, Dr. Chandra, NCA Chair Victor Milson, and Walter Curnow. Combined, their awards and accolades in film and television, music, literature, theatre and dance would span the length of Discovery. The artistic range they have all expressed, the art they’ve created in other disciplines, and the key ethos they all share. Their advice on acting - rehearsing, auditioning, different methods of working, and living as an artist - constantly changing, pushing oneself, and staying fresh. Lessons for a lifetime of exploring and learning, breaking through conventions and making life a constant adventure. We also get a special delivery from the great Virginia Smith! Plus: the danger of the Van Allen radiation belt, Daisy makes a window, and hear Sibyl nibble kibble.
