Hey guys, Willie Geist here with another episode of the Sunday Sit Down podcast.

My thanks as always for clicking and listening along my guest this week.

One of the biggest stars in Hollywood, Jake Gyllenhaal, very excited for this one.

Jake's in the middle of a good run just this month alone.

He's in Spider-Man where he plays Mysterio, a film that just crossed the $1 billion mark

his first time in the Marvel Universe.

Really first time doing one of those big superhero dress up costume kind of deals.

And at the same time this week, he's in previews for his play Sea Wall a Life, which he has

brought to Broadway from the famed public theater off Broadway here in New York City.

This interview is taking place at the Hudson Theatre where he was getting ready just a

couple of days before they started previews for Sea Wall a Life.

He co-stars with British actor Tom Sturridge and he'll explain it to you, but what it is

is just two acts.

And the first act is just Tom Sturridge on stage giving a monologue.

And Jake is in the wings hanging out in his dressing room, whatever he's doing.

And then he comes out for the second act and does a monologue and that's it.

But what's interesting about it is it was such a huge hit, sold out hit at the public theater

off Broadway that they wanted to bring it to Broadway.

But he told me before we started and I think he won't mind me saying that this is he thinks

the best thing he's ever done.

And this is the third time he's done Broadway and he talks about just totally breaking the

fourth wall.
