In this special re-edit of the Thomas Ian Nicholas episode, we dive into his deep-rooted passion for cinema, which blossomed while he was making movies himself. Thomas reflects on his early movie memories, including the lasting impact of classics like Star Wars and The Shawshank Redemption. He opens up about how he shares his love for film with his kids, navigating the challenges of selecting age-appropriate content and the joy of introducing his son to the magic of cinema. We also explore the importance of physicality in acting and the ongoing journey to bridge the gap between creative vision and execution. The conversation ends with a look at Mary Poppins and the timeless desire to create films that inspire adventure and a sense of wonder. Here’s the video I mentioned, which reminds me to keep writing, and eventually, I’ll create something that matches my taste. This is a public episode.
