Dylan Baker is the definition of a consummate actor. For over three decades he has delivered so many incredible performances in series like “The Good Wife,” “Damages,” “Hunters,” films like “Happiness,” “Selma,” “Spider-Man 2”, and his latest, “LaRoy, Texas”, where he plays a professional killer. He talks about his approach toward playing despicable people, some who other actor’s wouldn’t touch. He takes us back to his beginnings, and the acting instruction that changed his work and which he still uses today. He tells a story about how the legendary theater director Nikos Psacharopoulos had a big impact on his early career,  talks about the excitement of working on ultra independent films like Onur Tukel’s “The Misogynists,” explains why minimal direction works so powerfully for him, gives us a run down of his pre-curtain ritual, and much much more.
