ERK sits with actor LEE PACE amidst his newest box office release THE RUNNING MAN. Despite his reservations for such a tall convo, Lee dives deep sharing his career journey from Texas to Juilliard to the stage to the big screen with his roles in THE NORMAL HEART, SOLDIER’S GIRL, THE FALL PUSHING DAISIES, TWILIGHT, THE HOBBIT, GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY, and more. He ponders his perspective shift as an actor, dishes some fun behind the scenes moments with SARAH MICHELLE GELLAR, and clears the record that he is indeed six-foot-five…on a good day.
