Actor J.K. Simmons joins Dan to discuss his Academy Award-winning performance as music instructor Terence Fletcher in the 2014 film Whiplash. He talks about his approach to portraying such an intense character and goes in-depth on some of the most memorable scenes, including "Find My Tempo", where he had to repeatedly slap Miles Teller. J.K. also touches on what it was like to become an "overnight sensation" late in his career, talks about his current role as the head coach of a football team in the sports drama National Champions, and reveals the meaning of his touching acceptance speech after winning the Oscar for "Best Supporting Actor" in 2015.
