Josh Hamilton
Back To One - A podcast by Filmmaker Magazine - Tuesdays
If I ever need to cry on cue, I can just picture the expression on Josh Hamilton's face, in “Eighth Grade,” when Elsie Fisher hugs him. It's a beautiful, wordless culmination of his incredible performance, which landed him a Spirit Award nomination this year. We discuss that scene, and he shares some of what he’s learned from jumping from the New York stage to the big & small screens and back again over the past 25 years. He talks about the importance of syncing with the director’s vision, being off-book before rehearsals, and why he’s a self described “take whore.”
