What We Discuss with William H. Macy:

  • Character is defined by action, not words or backstory. What you do reveals who you are, making desperation and relentlessness compelling on screen.
  • The best actors are bulletproof against criticism of their craft because they commit fully to their choices without seeking approval or worrying about being flattering.
  • William didn't truly learn to act until his 60s on Shameless. Getting his 10,000 hours taught him to drop baggage and focus only on what's essential in the moment.
  • Really look and really listen. This simple technique transforms performances because genuine attention makes others self-conscious and creates authentic reactions.

  • And much more...
