A podcast about acting -- just the work. by Peter Rinaldi
Back to One, Episode 60: Lindsay Burdge
(Photo by Jane Houle) Lindsay Burdge is one of the bravest and best actors working in indie film this decade. Her breakout role in Hannah Fidell’s A Teacher brought her raves for her intense performance of destructive obsession. Bold choices continued in movies like Nathan Silver’s Thirst Street, Karyn Kusama’s The Invitation, and Joe Swanberg’s Netflix show Easy. Now she’s taken on the role of Mandy, in the long-awaited second season of Caveh Zahedi’s acclaimed The Show About The Show, after the real Mandy (Zahedi’s wife) left the show mid-production. She talks about the unique experience of working with Zahedi under these conditions, how she doesn’t steer away from emotionally challenging material, and her “pen-free” gestation preparation process. Plus lots more!
