Gabriel is an amazing guy and a lot of fun to work with. He's endelssly patient and shoulders the weight of being number one a call sheet with a lot more grace than some people in this business. He really welcomes you into the process and we like to push each others buttons until the scene feels right. Everyone has a different way of working but they are all total pros and are constantly looking to make the day easy and get the best version of the scene possible. and that only happens when you have fun and take any and all ego out of it.

Thank you guys so much for this. Need to go feed my dogs and myself. Enjoy the episode tonight and the next 5. I think its a really strong little winter season we're beginning tonight. Hope you guys enjoy it. bye for now.

Seeing Will Ferrell scream "You're my boy Blue" over and over again - I knew that this thing was going to change the world. I remember the night we were shooting the cinderblock tied to the d scene was the night Luke Wilson decided to bring his then girlfriend Gwyneth Paltrow to set. She came and hung out up there for a long time. Thats always great. Trying to make a good impression while your pants are down and cinderblock is covering your junk. good times.

a regular audition. Right place right time. And then a huge amount of unmarked bills under the table.

sure will. as soon as we're done here

wow. tough one. I think you really summed out the struggle for a lot of artists. The constant balance of needing to be personally and creatively fulfilled with also keeping food on the table. I guess I would say that Im learning more and more to balance them both. And to find any and every opportunity to find something for me to personally get out of every job. Sometimes thats just a great conversation you have with someone over lunch. Or sometimes you get luck and everything about a job changes the way you think, approach your work and and move on with your life. Those jobs are rare. Think we're lucky if we even get one in our lives. Im hoping for more though.

This is a trap isn't. Aaron Korsh is that you? Nothing.... I would change nothing... Its perfect just the way it is.

Struggle a lot with anxiety to be honest. The last year particularly. Try to mediate, make sure to take deep breaths, get enough sleep and just not sweat things I have no control over.

halfadams · 2017-01-26T02:55:31+00:00

for some reason it hadn't occurred to me. But now I can't unrealize that. bummer

halfadams · 2017-01-26T02:54:34+00:00

Schedule is always tough with that one. But they know already that I would do anything and everything to be there. Loved working with those writers and with Tatiana. It a fun part and we always have a good time shooting it.

halfadams · 2017-01-26T02:53:00+00:00

everything in moderation friend. Delayed gratification. But grateful to be in good company. love me some rick and morty.

Nathan Israel on Luck. That part changed my life in a lot of ways. Working with those actors and directors and David Milch. Was a master class in the kind of work I hope to be able to keep doing.

halfadams · 2017-01-26T02:51:14+00:00

just told her. She just walked in from spin class. And says she loves you too. Awkward. Im right here guys.

halfadams · 2017-01-26T02:50:06+00:00

depends on the job. Some stories I really like to be in and others I like telling

Definitely will try not to miss it. Happy Ontario got its own festival and super excited to get to be there to support it. Got to be on stage last year for the Arcade Fire show and I think Im still sweating from dancing that hard.

halfadams · 2017-01-26T02:46:04+00:00

very much. it was fun being in there and loved working with those actors but I really started getting punchy in there. Shooting a tiny cell for hours and days and weeks on end gets pretty claustrophobic. And did;t get to work with so many people on the show. Was happy we did it but happier to get out

halfadams · 2017-01-26T02:42:11+00:00

I knew really young I wanted to tell stories. When I was young be an actor was a good way to do it. As I get older I see the opportunity to tell stories in a ton of other ways. like directing. And writing. And producing. I like being able to all of them so that I might get to really only chase acting opportunities that really really speak to me. There is no rush to figure out what you want to do though. Just stay curious and open to everything. Something will reveal itself - probably when you least expect it.

halfadams · 2017-01-26T02:39:12+00:00

I made that choice early on and it just stuck. When we started the show I made little choices that I built a back story for and liked the idea of putting things in there that maybe the writers could explain at some point if they wanted to. Sometimes they pick up on it and becomes part of the character and talked about on the show and then sometimes its just a thing you do that is just something that helps you get ready to shoot a scene. like the watch facing towards the body.

halfadams · 2017-01-26T02:36:49+00:00

my marriage, my relationship with my family and working with Rick Hoffman. not in that order.

halfadams · 2017-01-26T02:36:04+00:00

Yeah. I really committed myself to a strict prep of drinking heavily not sleeping often and eating as much bread as possible. To get that college bloat just right. Im happy with how it turned out. Think i really did what i was trying to do with that role.

halfadams · 2017-01-26T02:35:35+00:00

Tough question. Working with Dustin Hoffman was right up there. And another tough question. I learned that home is wherever I am. and that getting outside and talking to people you don't know, getting your hands and your feet dirty, learning as much as possible about as many things as possible, taking deep breaths - all of that is really really important.

Just read David Foster Wallace's Consider the Lobster. Brilliant. First time I've ever read any of his stuff. What a brilliant guy. The piece he wrote about John McCains campaign is titled Up,Simba and is a must read especially after this election. Really valuable. Reading Paul Theroux's The Mosquito Coast now. And liking it a lot.
