VARIETY – ACTORS ON ACTORS 2016

It’s that time of the year when Variety celebrates the exceptional films that are hitting theaters. They partner a variety of actors together to talk about their current films and what drives them in their career. I’ve watched quite a few so far and have plenty more to sit through. Some pairings work really well together (Tom Hanks and Viola Davis) while others feel a little off (Sorry, Sally Field!). Here are a few of them. If you want more, head over to Variety’s You Tube channel where they’ve posted all of them. Make sure to look for the ones marked Full Conversation.
