John Turturro

Join award-winning actor John Turturro for a conversation with Happy Sad Confused 's Josh Horowitz about his Emmy-nominated performance in Apple TV+'s hit series Severance , including clips from the show. Following a team of office workers at a mysterious company whose employees have undergone a procedure that surgically divides their memories between their work and personal lives, Severance is one of the biggest hits of the season — a brilliant dystopian vision of work and corporate power. The gripping new season is being hailed as one of the most thought-provoking shows of the year, and as the ultra-devoted severed employee Irving Bailiff — for which he has been nominated for a 2025 Emmy Award for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama — John Turturro delivers a knockout performance. Alongside clips from the series, hear Turturro tell Horowitz the story of Bailiff's invention, his moving romance with Burt (Christopher Walken), what's next for Severance , stories from the set, and more in this live taping of the Happy Sad Confused podcast. Recorded Aug 13, 2025 at The 92nd Street Y, New York.

Turturro, who is best known as one of the most pliable, memorable actors of our time, spoke about needing to laugh post the election of Donald Trump. We certainly did a lot, as the Brooklyn native shared hilarious stories about working with Robert DeNiro and Martin Scorcese on Raging Bull to shooting a threesome with Bobby Cannavale and Audrey Tatou for his latest project GOING PLACES. He also shared some never released before photos from the set, as Turturro is currently editing the film. In it, Turturro revisits the sleazy, former pedophile, and die hard bowler Jesus Quintana, which became one of the many stand out characters in the cult classic THE BIG LEBOWSKI. Most folks became aware of John Turturro in Spike Lee’s DO THE RIGHT THING, but he cemented his street cred as the Coen Brothers, who famously cast the Italian-American human sponge.
