Jessica Lange - 'Long Day's Journey Into Night' [LIVE]

In front of an audience at the Virginia Film Festival, the legendary actress who is one of only 10 living winners of the triple crown of acting — she has won two Oscars, three Emmys and a Tony — reflects on being cast out of nowhere in 'King Kong'; turning around her career with 'The Postman Always Rings Twice,' 'Frances' and 'Tootsie'; why 'Grey Gardens' and 'American Horror Story' reinvigorated her; and why she'd be content if her latest role — as Mary Tyrone, who she'd previously played on stage — ends up being her last.

Jordan Firstman - 'Club Kid' [LIVE]

In front of an audience at Chapman University, the breakout multi-hyphenate reflects on the breakup that blew up his personal and professional life, but after which he began to find success; his mixed-feelings about his early work on social media (COVID-era publicist for banana bread) and TV ('English Teacher' and 'I Love LA'); and what inspired him to write, direct and star in a film about a party promoter who stays too long at the party (which became a sensation at and the year's biggest sale out of Cannes — $17 million).

Andrew Scott - 'Elsinore'

The gifted Irish actor best known for 'Sherlock,' 'Fleabag,' 'Ripley' and 'All of Us Strangers' reflects on how a childhood lisp led him to acting; the impact on his career of his 2013 decision to publicly come out as gay; how he handled the sudden interest in him after playing the "hot priest" opposite Phoebe Waller-Bridge; and why he was so drawn to the story of 'Chariots of Fire' actor Ian Charleson that he signed on not only to play the man in 'Elsinore' but also to produce that film about the remarkable final chapter of Charleson's life.
