The only movie podcast devoted to character actors, each episode delves into the career of one of those people where you know the face but not the name. From Bob Hoskins to Mia Goth to Viola Davis, hosts Andrew Carroll and Stephen Porzio shine a spotlight on supporting players unsung by the masses but loved by cinephiles, while also recommending some great films along the way.
