On this episode of ActorSpeak, Austin Basis continues to speak with actor Gabe Fazio (I Know This Much is True, The Place Beyond the Pines, A Star is Born, Homeland, The Path to 9/11). 

In Part 2, we discuss evolving as a person and an actor, rehearsal as the 1st take, insecurities, nerves working with friend Bradley Cooper, going blank playing Satan in The Last Days of Judas Iscariot, Anthony Hopkins in The Father, truth without judgement, Mrs. Doubtfire, peanut butter and unrequited love. 

Actor Gabe Fazio attended Suffolk Community College before being accepted at The Actors Studio Drama School, where he received an MFA. His Off and Off-Off Broadway experience includes the New York City premieres of Spring Storm by Tennessee Williams and Sins of the Mother by Israel Horovitz; and the World Premieres of Free Gift Inside by Edward Allen Baker and First Born by Lyle Kessler. Among his notable TV appearances are Homeland, The Path to 9/11 where he starred opposite Harvey Keitel, and most recently, I Know This Much is True - in which Gabe played Mark Ruffalo’s characters’ twin brother in every scene that both twins were in, serving as an essential scene partner that helped Ruffalo achieve his award-winning performance. His film credits include: The Place Beyond the Pines, A Star is Born, Giants Being Lonely, and many independent films in which his performance garnered Best Actor Awards throughout the festival circuit. Gabe is also a writer & has directed several short films. Like myself, he’s a Lifetime Member of The Actors Studio and one of the most talented actors I know.
