Episode Description
Oscar-winning actress Melissa Leo inhabits every character she takes on, from Mark Wahlberg's mother in The Fighter to the hard-boiled owner of a comedy club in the current series I'm Dying Up Here. In her new movie The Novitiate she's in top form as a Mother Superior who has devoted forty years to the church. As Leonard and Jessie learn, Melissa discovered acting as a little girl and has never lost her love of pretending. She just does it better than most of us.
