Pedro Pascal Podcast Interviews

These two interviews from 2018 and 2022 are lovely and showcase Pedro’s warmth, empathy, humor, and wit.  Russell+Robert (Talk Art) and Sam Fragoso (Talk Easy) do a stellar job engaging Pedro and asking insightful questions.  Topics range from art, cinema, his childhood, politics, and family (tw: grief, his mother’s death) to his years as a struggling actor and his current work at the time of the recordings.  You can listen on Spotify with a basic (free) account.  Each interview runs about 56 minutes.

Eddie Redmayne – Talk Easy with Sam Fragoso

Actor Eddie Redmayne on his transformation in "The Good Nurse", playing opposite Jessica Chastain, and returning to the theatre in "Cabaret".

“The most curious thing about the script for The Good Nurse was that empathy felt at the forefront of who Charles Cullen was. There was a dissociative personality that then weaponized that empathy. Part of the appeal of this character and the film was that load of conflicting things.”

-Eddie Redmayne, episode 296 of Talk Easy with Sam Fragoso

Today we’re joined by Oscar-winning actor, Eddie Redmayne! We discuss how he embodied serial killer Charles Cullen in The Good Nurse (8:12), playing opposite Jessica Chastain (9:35), and the research that shaped his commanding performance (15:11). Then, to understand his present as a performer, we return to the past: an early theatre production with director Sam Mendes (19:12), his big break starring in Twelfth Night at the Globe (22:59), and learning Shakespeare on the job with actor Mark Rylance (25:26).

On the back-half, we walk through Redmayne’s transition from stage to screen (28:41), a formative memory on set with Scarlett Johansson (31:22), how The Theory of Everything changed his course (33:45), returning to the theatre as the Emcee in Cabaret (41:44), rediscovering a sense of play in a physical theatre class (47:04), and the kind of work he hopes to make in the years to come (49:13).

Listening to the new Pedro podcast while cutting my lawn was a great choice for this Sunday.

But the segment about losing his mom - and his reaction to it - was a real kick in the teeth. It is the first time in the 7 years since losing my dad that that type of loss has been phrased in accurate way for me and what I experienced.

I applaud him for being able to be so honest and open with his emotions.

“I remember it being an unbelievable thing to get through, to be honest with you… The world doesn’t stop, and the sun doesn’t stop shining, and it was meant to. Emotionally it was hard for me to register, just to comprehend that you could be in a car going to a cremation service, and see a family kind of like playing in the yard - experiencing something so drastically different right in front of you. Like a beautiful summer day, and I remember that more than anything. And everything stopped. And I was very resentful that nothing stopped. I had a hard time with that.

(It starts about 31:00 in)
