Episode 5: Kathryn Meisle

Gary sits down with the brilliant Kathryn Meisle — a seasoned stage and screen actress who recently brought one of the most pivotal characters in HBO's buzzy new comedy thriller The Chair Company to life.Kathryn plays Alice Quintana across three episodes of the Tim Robinson series — a key figure in the show's conspiracy storyline who becomes a turning point for Ron's entire investigation. It's the kind of role that requires nuance, timing, and the ability to hold your own in a show packed with wild energy, and Kathryn delivers on all fronts.But this episode is about far more than one role. Kathryn holds a B.A. from Smith College and an M.F.A. from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, and her career spans decades of serious stage work — including Broadway's The Elephant Man and Off-Broadway's Richard II — alongside film and television credits that include The Greatest Showman, You've Got Mail, Grey's Anatomy, and more. She's also a recipient of the prestigious Joe A. Callaway Award for theatrical excellence.This is a conversation about the craft behind the characters, the training that shapes a career, and what it feels like to be part of something as wonderfully strange as The Chair Company.🎙️ Subscribe so you never miss an episode of Addicted to Acting with Gary Tanguay#ActingPodcast #KathrynMeisle #AddictedToActing #GaryTanguay #ActorsLife #TheChairCompany #HBO #TimRobinson #StageAndScreen
