AFS Viewfinders: Lisa Hart Carroll on Acting and Actors

AFS Viewfinders Podcast

Last month we had a screening of TERMS OF ENDEARMENT in conjunction with the Star Of Texas Award presented to the film at the Texas Film Awards. We were fortunate enough to have Lisa Hart Carroll, who plays Patsy in the film, join us for our screening. It's a small but important part in the film and Carroll is excellent in it. After the screening she joined us for a Q&A that was as candid as it was thoughtful, and I suspect that no one who was in attendance will forget it anytime soon. Carroll is very serious about acting, and has a scholar's knowledge of the great performances to match her lifelong practice at the fine techniques of acting. In this episode we talk about actors from James Dean to Lon Chaney, Jr. with pithy observations and a special attention to the was in which actors are themselves filmmakers.
