Ep248 - Thomas Sadoski, Actor ‘The Newsroom,’ ‘Life in Pieces,’ & ‘The Mimic’

Thomas Sadoski describes his path to acting as an “accumulation of growing up reading big epic stories.” His father read epic myths and he grew up in Texas, a natural storytelling culture. This, along with an obsession with actors like Jimmy Stewart and Charlie Chaplin guided his journey. The actor is known for roles in movies like ‘Wild’ and ‘John Wick,’ along with television work such as ‘The Newsroom’ and ‘Life in Pieces,’ but his most recent film is ‘The Mimic.’ In the feature written and directed by Thomas F. Mazziotti, a man suspects his friend may be a sociopath, so he goes to extreme lengths to uncover the truth. In this interview, the actor talks about his love for the immediacy of theater, how he was mentored early on by Mark Ruffalo, the challenge and joy of playing a character from Aaron Sorkin, and why it’s so important to do that which inspires you.
