Lily Rabe on Shrinking, Acting Opposite Harrison Ford, and Finding Comedy After American Horror Story

Lily Rabe sits down with Kyle Meredith to talk about the third season of Shrinking, where her character Meg — the daughter of Harrison Ford’s Paul — finally steps further into the spotlight and into a complicated dynamic with Jason Segel’s Jimmy. Rabe discusses how the storyline grew organically from the chemistry between characters rather than long-planned “breadcrumbs,” what it’s like bouncing between the show’s emotional therapy-driven world and heavier stage work like Ibsen’s Ghosts at Lincoln Center, and why comedy actually isn’t that far from tragedy in her approach to acting. Along the way, she reflects on working with a stacked cast, going toe-to-toe with Segel’s improvisational instincts, her years in American Horror Story, and other projects including Downtown Owl, and Presumed Innocent — all while explaining why Meg remains one of the easiest characters for her to slip back into each season.Listen to Lily Rabe chat about all this and more or watch it on YouTube. Please take the time to like, review, and subscribe to KMW wherever you get your podcasts, and keep up to date with all our series by following the Consequence Podcast Network.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
