Go Deeper

If this one hit home, that's the kind of conversation we go deeper on.

Doing the Work is a weekly Patreon segment where I share what I'm actually working through — the same kind of stuff Tim Blake Nelson and I just got into. You're invited to do the same. Come hang.

New conversation every Tuesday.

Tim Blake Nelson (Old Henry, O Brother, Where Art Thou?) joins us this week to share his experience in this industry as a respected character actor and the on-set lessons learned from masters of their craft like Steven Spielberg, Daniel Day-Lewis, and Tom Cruise. Tim shares how James Franco helped pull him out of creative complacency during a lull, helping him develop his new approach of preparing for roles. We also talk about his last minute addition to ‘O Brother, Where Art Thou?,’ collaborating with his son Henry on ‘Asleep in My Palm,’ and his reaction to being cut out of ‘Dune 2.’
