Daniel Henning, the founder and original Artistic Director of The Blank Theatre, has taught and guided the success of many beloved actors of today, including Sarah Michelle Gellar, Alyson Hannigan, Tessa Thompson, and Alison Brie! In this episode, you'll learn about the importance of having community as an artist, being yourself, and hear stories about artists you love.
Daniel also shares his famous Sir Alec Guinness story, which landed him a place in Guinness' final memoir, when Guinness told him as a boy to "Never see Star Wars again." He also discusses his perspectives on why he believes Guinness "hated" Star Wars. And how Ed Asner continued to say "yes" even to many student films.
