Summary
The KINDS OF KINDNESS and ELEMENTAL actor talks tenacity, integrity, and sheer willpower
Episode Description
Whether he's starring in major movies like ELEMENTAL or JURASSIC WORLD DOMINION, or sinking his teeth into roles like his his latest (in Yorgos Lanthimos' new KINDS OF KINDNESS), actor Mamoudou Athie follows his gut and ignores the algorithms. When Dev Patel's directorial debut, MONKEY MAN hit theaters earlier this year, Mamoudou found new depths of admiration for Patel as an actor and director -- and he also found a character he could deeply relate to in the determined Bobby/The Kid.
Then, Jordan has one quick thing about the latest film from past guest Ariel Vida, TRIM SEASON.
