Oscar Isaac

Today, we're joined by Oscar Isaac in New York City! At the top, we discuss the past six months of his performance in The Sign in Sidney Brustein’s Window (5:10), the play's timeless writing (6:55), and the legacy of the great Lorraine Hansberry (11:27). Then, Isaac reflects on growing up in the early ‘80s (12:47), his punk-rock salad days in high school (18:05) and then Juilliard (27:45), and the inspiration behind his breakout role in Inside Llewyn Davis (30:54). On the back-half, we talk about grieving through Hamlet (36:54), a guiding piece of poetry from Jeremy Strong (39:49), the pre-show ritual he continues today (41:09), a formative Bible passage (45:57), and how he embraces the present moment (50:57).

Bryan is joined by Leah Carlson-Downie to discuss their common appreciation on Oscar Isaac. A should-be Academy Award winner, Isaac has tackled a wide variety of different genres in his short, but impactful career so far. After appearing in smaller roles in "Drive" and "Robin Hood", Isaac got acclaim for his leading role in the Coen Brothers' musical drama "Inside Llewyn Davis" before gaining public notoriety as Poe Dameron in the "Star Wars" sequel trilogy. He is one of the best actors of his generation and continues to pump out wonderful performance one after the other, regardless of how big or small the role is. And plus, he's daddy after all.
