    Claire Danes remembers My So-Called Life

    Claire Danes remembers My So-Called Life

    This week, we’re throwing it back to one of our most popular releases: My So-Called Life, the series by Winnie Holzman, Ed Zwick and Marshall Herskovitz, starring Claire Danes in her breakout role as Angela Chase; the 15-year old who was head-over-heels in love with the high school’s relatively bad boy, Jordan Catalano; played by Jared Leto. The show was a cult hit, but mostly after it had already been cancelled by ABC and was in reruns on MTV. In this episode, we learn about Claire's history with acting; that she was even younger than her 15-year-old character; and all about those make-out scenes with Jared Leto!

In this interview, we learn a bit about Paul's acting background and how it made it possible for him to take on such a boisterous character. We also get to know how Paul feels about fan conventions and we even learn about his wonderful charity in Uganda.

Great podcast for film lovers!!

I've been a huge fan of Shout Factory's bluray output for years - think The Criterion Collection only FUN - and the care they put into their special editions, so this podcast is really a treat. These are uncut, extended interviews with cinematic talent you don't wanna miss. Highly recommended!
