Actor Thomas Jane Is Trying to Save Himself ('The Expanse' - 'The Mist' - 'Boogie Nights')
Today I’m joined by actor, filmmaker, and comic book creator THOMAS JANE (BOOGIE NIGHTS, DREAMCATCHER, THE PUNISHER, THE MIST, “HUNG”, “THE EXPANSE”, and a little Amazon show I recently wrote on called “TROPPO”). This is a wide-ranging conversation about the power of art as a way to save ourselves and the next generation of freaks and weirdos as lost as us.
A bonus episode will follow, in which Tom and I interrogate a seminal film in his life – John Frankenheimer’s SECONDS (1966). Listen to it by returning to the episode list here or at Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bonus-thomas-jane-talks-seconds/id1807437928?i=1000702807066
Tom and I discuss (amongst other things):
- The power of symbolism in art and its role in distinguishing humans from animals
- What drives his passion for acting and storytelling
- Insights on fear of failure and balancing indie projects with mainstream films
- His breakthrough role in BOOGIE NIGHTS
- The iconic ending of THE MIST
- What makes a great Stephen King adaptation
- Common mistakes in genre film adaptations
- Maintaining artistic integrity amidst commercial pressures
- His ongoing commitment to creating meaningful storytelling experiences for the kids who are growing up as lost as he was when he was their age
