Summary

He’s all grown up, but actor and director Alex Winter has been performing since the age of 5. Even if you don’t know his name, you know his face and his work, best known for his role in the Bill and Ted franchise alongside Keanu Reeves. For the past 4 decades, Winter has managed to stay grounded, while constantly reinventing himself as an artist, all while raising a family. For anyone who wants to know, not just how to make it in their industry, but how to stay successful and fulfilled, you will want to hear every word of this conversation. And you can check him out in action for yourself on stage and on television. Winter has just returned to Broadway, reuniting with Keanu Reeves in “Waiting for Godot” and has a highly reviewed and hilarious dark comedy streaming right now, called “Adulthood.”
