Season 4

E1. Jake Gyllenhaal

Sep 21, 2015 · 60m

Jake joins Off Camera to talk about what draws him to roles and directors, what led him to re-think his career as an artist, and his philosophical chats with his good friends in the LAPD. That, and a bit of early advice he got from Chris Cooper: “Never leave a scene with any regrets.” Gyllenhaal says he still doesn’t understand that one entirely, but we’re pretty sure you won’t leave this conversation with any.

E2. Cindy Crawford

Sep 28, 2015 · 60m

E3. Ellen Page

Oct 5, 2015 · 60m

Ellen joins Off Camera to talk about the process of making a feature version of a documentary, building to pre-Juno fame in Halifax versus Hollywood, what a video game taught them about acting and why it was such a simple joy to flirt with a woman in a parking lot.

E4. Tatiana Maslany

Oct 12, 2015 · 60m

Tatiana joins Off Camera to talk about what she learned in the transition from improv to scripted roles, what it’s like to play the multitudes of Orphan Black, why monsters scare her more than robbers and why she once faked sleeping for 17 hours. So go ahead and judge Tatiana Maslany; we did, and found her as fascinating, funny and relatable as they come.

E5. Olivia Wilde

Oct 19, 2015 · 60m

Olivia joins Off Camera to talk about what’s become most important to her as an artist, the characters we relate to versus the ones Hollywood usually shows us, and why she could make “the shittiest movie ever” and still have it be called an important film.

E6. Jack Black

Oct 26, 2015 · 60m

This ain't a cogent, chronological, coherent conversation. This is the not-strictly-proverbial hot blast of cheese. Which is not to say you won’t find the usual inspiration, wise words and artistic insights. They’ll just be doled out by the inimitable Jack Black, who has a way with words that is more than entertaining, but less than linear.

E7. Carrie Brownstein

Nov 2, 2015 · 60m

E8. Connie Britton

Nov 9, 2015 · 60m

E9. William H. Macy

Nov 16, 2015 · 60m

William joins Off Camera to talk about the truth about acting technique, the perks and pitfalls of series TV, the process of putting together a feature-length indie, and what he’s learned from his experience on both sides of the camera. We talk about everything, including how to fire George Clooney so he stays fired. Well, almost everything… Sorry, Bill.

E10. Joseph Gordon Levitt

Nov 23, 2015 · 60m

Joseph joins Off Camera to talk about the danger of definitions, the value of encouragement and his latest film, The Walk. His one regret about fame? It hinders approaching his fellow humans unrecognized for discussions about the innumerable topics that interest him. So if a vaguely familiar face saunters up to your park bench and starts a friendly chat, just enjoy the conversation. We sure did.

E11. Paul Dano

Nov 30, 2015 · 60m

E12. Bill Lawrence

Dec 7, 2015 · 60m

Bill joins Off Camera to talk about visions of being a standup comedian and figuring out other people were better at delivering his material than he was. Though he says he’ll always be a comic at heart, he had too many ideas and too much confidence not to take his “spec script scam” out to Hollywood, where he quickly progressed from writing shows to running them to producing them, working with some of the best mentors in the business along the way.

E13. Linda Cardellini

Dec 14, 2015 · 60m

Linda joins Off Camera to talk about the audition process, the benefits of delayed puberty, the scourge of self-criticism and what she’s learned from the cast of her current show, Bloodline. And, why she may be doomed to spend eternity in a prairie dress. Sadly, she didn’t cry after our interview, but we still think it went well.

E14. Aubrey Plaza

Jan 11, 2016 · 60m

Aubrey joins Off Camera to talk about her transition from standup to film, her inability to re-tell a story and fighting for the roles she's not usually offered. And, masturbation (in a strictly clinical context, of course). She's called herself the worst talk show guest ever and hopes one day to be as smooth a chatter as Tom Hanks. We wish her success in every goal but that one.

E15. Tim Robbins

Jan 18, 2016 · 60m

E16. Matt Berninger

Jan 25, 2016 · 60m
