I'm Alan Olga and this is Clear In Vivit, conversations about connecting and communicating.

It was an opportunity to have a stage.

We've seen this 20 minutes and so I can try to do characters where I would do little stories

or things that have observational things that happen to me because it really needs me

to take advantage of the club.

Not to act so much, but to pound it, yeah, perform, you know what I mean.

That's the wonderful actor Michael Keaton talking about his early days doing stand-up which

eventually led to his acting career.

He'd never met before, but I've admired his work for years.

Most recently in the Hulu series, Dobe Sick, and our fellow actors agreed just yesterday

he received the Screen Actors Guild Award for outstanding male performance in a television

movie or limited series.

We started our talk with the kind of giddy exchange actors sometimes have when they first

meet.

I've been really looking forward to this conversation with you because...

Me too, thank.

Oh man, I love to talk with actors who I admire, really deeply admire.

And you're amazing.

Thank you.

High up on that list.
