Back to One

A podcast about acting -- just the work. by Peter Rinaldi

“The Way Tommy Writes…It Sounds Like a Life That I’ve Lived:” “I Wish You All The Best” Star Corey Fogelmanis, Back To One, Episode 365

Corey Fogelmanis’s first big break came as the fan-favorite Farkle on the Disney Channel series Girl Meets World. He later appeared alongside Octavia Spencer in the psychological thriller Ma, and in Netflix’s hit series My Life with the Walter Boys. Now his first lead performance as Ben, a teen who comes out as non-binary, in the refreshingly modern coming-of-age movie I Wish You All the Best, has already garnered glowing early reviews. On this episode, he talks about the “very aligned process” of working with director Tommy Dorfman, how music helps him prepare, learning the difference between naturalism and truthfulness, the difficulties of shaking off old childhood sit-com methods, and much more! Plus he just got done acting in the sequel to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, helmed by David Fincher, so he gives us a slight peak into that production! I Wish You All The Best opens in select theaters on Friday November 7th.
