Julianne Nicholson

Back To One

There are few actors more well respected than the preternaturally gifted Julianne Nicholson. Recent notable credits include “August: Osage County,” “Dream Scenario,” “Mare of Easttown” (which won her an Emmy award), and her latest, playwright Annie Baker’s first film, “Janet Planet.” In this episode, she talks in-depth about playing Janet in that remarkable film, her elusive preparation process, getting the environment to settle into her body, actually learning how to do acupuncture, why she lets her instinct lead the way, and much more.

Back To One is the in-depth, no-nonsense, actors-on-acting podcast from Filmmaker Magazine. In each episode, host Peter Rinaldi invites one working actor to do a deep dive into their unique process, psychology, and approach to the craft.
