Actor Paul Dano will join us to discuss his prolific career both in front of and behind the camera, including acclaimed roles in films like *Love & Mercy* and *There Will Be Blood*. This is your unique opportunity to inquire about his experiences, creative process, and insights into the industry.
Naturally, we’ll also delve into the recent controversy that captured headlines: many are curious to hear Paul Dano’s thoughts on Quentin Tarantino’s acting abilities, especially after the director’s scathing and rather “bananas” critique of Dano (alongside Owen Wilson and Matthew Lillard) on a podcast last year. Tarantino famously called Dano “weak sauce,” particularly for his intense performance opposite Daniel Day-Lewis in *There Will Be Blood*.
This comment ignited a wave of indignant praise and fervent defense for the actor from luminaries such as George Clooney, Toni Collette, Ben Stiller, and even Day-Lewis himself, as well as inspiring numerous articles. Beyond the headlines, we wholeheartedly agree that his portrayal of Brian Wilson in *Love & Mercy* was superb, his role in *12 Years a Slave* chillingly effective, and his performance in *Prisoners* truly unforgettable, particularly the intense scene where Hugh Jackman keeps him alive inside a wall.
