Rhea Seehorn: Better Call Carol

Rhea Seehorn takes us inside the discipline and instinct behind her acting process, tracing how her foundation in theater, script analysis and on-camera work shaped the way she builds character moment to moment. She reflects on her performance as Kim Wexler in Better Call Saul, exploring how ambiguity, specificity and listening often lead to the most truthful choices on screen, and how working alongside creators like Vince Gilligan and Bob Odenkirk pushed her to embrace uncertainty rather than over-define her approach. She also breaks down the balance between preparation and instinct, learning when to advocate for creative ideas without ego and how letting go of control in performance can unlock deeper collaboration, emotional precision and more unexpected, alive moments across both stage and screen.
