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

My thanks is always for clicking and listening along.

I have an Academy Award winner for you today.

His name is Sam Rockwell.

He won that Oscar a few years back for his performance as best supporting actor in three

billboards outside Ebing, Missouri.

Amazing performance in a career of them really.

Kind of the thrust of our conversation is that Sam, by his own admission for 30 years

or so as an actor flew below the radar.

You knew his face, you knew his name, maybe who is that guy in that movie.

He'd been in big budget movies, Charlie Zangel's Iron Man 2, The Green Mile.

He'd done all that stuff.

His first starring role came 20 years ago, first lead role, I should say, on screen in

confessions of a dangerous mind where he played Gong Shoho's Chuck Barris directed by George

Clooney.

But he's been in a ton of movies.

You always like him.

He's always good.

And then when he won the Oscar in 2018, he finally, he would say was on the map on the radar,

though he'd been at it for a long time.

His latest performance is in the classic David Mammoth play, American Buffalo.

There's a revival on Broadway right now at the Circle in the Square Theater.
