William H. Macy: I'm there for an experience that's filtered through all things, but that is transparent enough so people can have that experience with me. How did you get into doing your own stunts? Because lots of actors just say, no, get someone else in to do it. Sometimes really movies are difficult, but if you stick with them, it's like anything – sometimes the stuff that feels good right away doesn't sustain you and the stuff that's hard in the end will sustain you.
In this episode we're bringing you part two of a live recording from our Intelligent Times event series which took place in collaboration with The New York Times. Recorded in 2019, award winning actor Willem Dafoe speaks to the New York Times European culture editor, Matthew Anderson. Together they discuss Dafoe's long and varied career, his approach to acting, and his understanding of the changing film industry.
