The Backstage Experience

Jason Clarke joins Jon Stenvall and Dave Morales on this episode of The Backstage Experience to take you behind the scenes of SILK ROAD, the real-life story of a Texas teen who creates the largest drug-dealing website in history.  

The first half of the interview with Jason is about the history of the Dark Net website Silk Road, his detective character Rick Bowden, and what surprised him most about the story. The second half talks about filming the movie Everest (one of Jon's favorite movies) and how Jason's love of National Parks in the United States has changed his life.
