Episode 3: Joseph Lymous

Gary's next guest is one of the most uniquely talented people in the game — New Orleans-born actor, comedian, puppeteer, and producer Joseph Lymous. That's right, puppeteer. And by the time this episode is over, you'll understand exactly why that's just as much a part of his acting journey as anything else.Joseph is a 2021 Just For Laughs New Face and a 2023 CBS Showcase alum who has appeared on The Other Two (Max) and Awkwafina is Nora from Queens (Comedy Central). His puppetry work has taken him from the stage of the Metropolitan Opera House to the sets of Dying for Sex (FX) and Hello Tomorrow! (Apple TV+). Most recently, he landed the role of George on the new HBO series The Chair Company from the minds of Tim Robinson and Zach Kanin — and he's also developing his own original series with Abominable Pictures.Off screen, Joseph has served as co-artistic director of Mass Transit Theater in New York City, where he leads workshops in social and emotional literacy, racial equity, and conflict resolution. And if none of that impresses you — in 2019, Beyoncé shared a video of him on her Instagram story. Enough said.This is a conversation about craft, creativity, and what it means to bring characters to life in ways most actors never even consider.🎙️ Subscribe so you never miss an episode of Addicted to Acting with Gary Tanguay#ActingPodcast #JosephLymous #AddictedToActing #GaryTanguay #ActorsLife #TheChairCompany #Comedy #Puppetry #JustForLaughs
