JOHN MAGARO: The Voyeuristic Actor

Welcome to an unforgettable episode where we dive deep into the "lottery" of the acting world with the remarkably talented John Magaro. Join us as John reveals how he transitioned from the "analytical bullshit" of conservatory training to a career defined by honesty and discovery, sharing the stage with icons like Nathan Lane and navigating the high-stakes sets of The Big Short and Orange is the New Black . John also shares how he revolutionized his own process by self-taping long before it was the industry standard, teaming up with producer and editor friends to rent professional studio space and use high-end cameras to ensure he was putting his best work forward. Whether you're a fan of his voyeuristic performances in First Cow or his heart-wrenching work in the Oscar-nominated Past Lives and his upcoming film Omaha , this conversation is a masterclass in building a "yellow brick road" of professional relationships while staying ruthlessly focused on the craft. These are the unforgettable stories that landed John Magaro right here. Credits: Materialists The Big Short Past Lives The Bride!
