Acting Advice From a Theater Director feat. Aidan Gillen
Best known for his roles as the manipulative Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish on "Game of Thrones" and ambitious politician Tommy Garcetti on "The Wire," it goes without saying that veteran Irish actor Aidan Gillen knows a thing or two about what it takes to get cast on prestige television. He now has taken upon the role of astronomer Josef Allen Hynek in "Project Blue Book," which premiered on History earlier this month.
In this clip from his Backstage Live interview, Aidan recalls his days as a young actor and the work he did with famed Scottish theater director, Robin Lefèvre, from whom he learned the value of casting the right people, being a professional on set, and knowing who you are as an actor.
