EP 6 Richard Shepard on That Guy

The High Bar

What's his name? You know, the guy in the thing with the face. Often, this is what character actors are reduced to, vague associations and cloudy memories. However, the best shine as brightly as any star, they just may be further away from the camera. They can have a few lines yet still make or break a movie. You rarely know their names, but they can leave a lasting impression. Filmmaker Richard Shepard (THE MATADOR; DON HEMINGWAY; Girls) has hired the finest and even made a documentary about the legendary John Cazale. On this episode of The High Bar, he joins Warren to raise the bar for... character actors.
