Film Interviews

Improvisational genius/comic actor Pat Finn is on this very special episode! Pat and I have been collaborating together for almost 20 years making on Valley Toyota spots, and it's always a blast. Agency folks always like casting actors that can improv, but Pat is next level. And he happens to be the one of the top three nicest humans in Hollywood. From sitcoms "Seinfeld" and "The Middle" to films "It's Complicated" and more, Pat Finn creates memorable characters on screen and a lasting impression in person. Pat shares hilarious stories, like sneaking into an improv class at Second City with Chris Farley. You'll learn what it's like to work with this comedic genius up close. Directors, take notes because Pat gives some great advice for us on how to get the most out of improvisors.. Even after all these years in the business, I'm still learning from Mr. Finn. So whether you're an aspiring actor, seasoned director or just love a good laugh, this is an interview you don't want to miss. Retreat Curious?
