Hosted by James Lipton, this program presents a hilarious and heart-warming episode with Academy Award-nominated actor Steve Carell. On the Actors Studio stage, Carell reflects on his early days in the business, both as a student and teacher of The Second City, followed by his successful segue from the small screen to the silver screen. Carell also discusses his celebrated work in renowned films such as The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Little Miss Sunshine, Crazy Stupid Love, Get Smart and Foxcatcher, along with his unforgettable portrayal of Michael Scott in the comedy series, The Office, which earned him a 2006 Golden Globe Award and multiple Emmy nominations. Specifically, Carell opens up about his affinity for portraying 'losers', a recurring theme throughout his career, as well as his overall appreciation for the opportunity to work in the rising entertainment industry.
Host Lipton sits down with the four-time Emmy-winner in light of his titular role in the new biographical drama film, Trumbo, where Cranston plays Dalton Trumbo, a top Hollywood screenwriter who was blacklisted for political reasons. Through the episode, Cranston intimately recalls his early days, including a defining moment in his childhood when he went from an outgoing and happy youth to a recluse after his father left his family. He carefully navigates some of his most well-known roles and the challenges that came along with them, including how he shaped his quirky paternal character, Hal, in Malcom in the Middle, and how he drew inspiration from his own broken father when creating his vision for the iconic character of Walter White. You will also be heartened to learn of the actor's powerful thoughts while shooting one of the most pivotal scenes from Breaking Bad, as well as what Cranston believes to be Walter's ultimate 'truth'.
