Tom Bateman has delivered wonderful performances in "Thirteen Lives," "Death on the Nile," "Murder on the Orient Express," and Peacock's dark comedic thriller series "Based on a True Story," alongside Kaley Cuoco and Chris Messina, to name a few. For his latest, "Hedda," he got to work opposite Tessa Thompson and Nina Hoss. On this episode, he explains what made that production special, starting with the 2 weeks of rehearsal that director Nia DeCosta insisted on. He takes us through his beginnings in the theater, how Shakespeare is the gift that keeps on giving, gives examples of direction that ignited discoveries, hard lessons learned in younger days, the curious phenomena of finding similarities in his characters the further he gets away from himself, and much more!

Corey Fogelmanis
Corey Fogelmanis' first big break came as the fan-favorite Farkle on the Disney Channel series "Girl Meets World." He later appeared alongside Octavia Spencer in the psychological thriller "Ma," and in Netflix's hit series "My Life with the Walter Boys." Now his first lead performance as Ben, a teen who comes out as non-binary, in the refreshingly modern coming-of-age movie "I Wish You All the Best," has already garnered glowing early reviews. On this episode, he talks about the "very aligned process" of working with director Tommy Dorfman, how music helps him prepare, learning the difference between naturalism and truthfulness, the difficulties of shaking off old childhood sit-com methods, and much more! Plus he just got done acting in the sequel to "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood," helmed by David Fincher, so he gives us a slight peak into that production! "I Wish You All The Best" opens in select theaters on Friday November 7th. Back To One is the in-depth, no-nonsense, actors-on-acting podcast from Filmmaker Magazine.

Nina Hoss
Nina Hoss is one of our most respected stage, film, and television actors working internationally. She is known for her collaborations with director Christian Petzold in films such as "Barbara" and "Phoenix," as well as "Tar" opposite Cate Blanchett, the celebrated series "Homeland," and her latest "Hedda," opposite Tessa Thompson. On this episode, she talks about what drew her to Nia DaCosta's bold new reimagining of the Ibsen's classic. She gives us a peek into her process, talks about the "journey of filmmaking" she and Petzold embarked on together, environment as communication, how "The Cherry Orchard" in Brooklyn "landed at the right time," finding enjoyment in "checking out the possibilities," why she sometimes rehearses in German when she's acting in English, and much more.

Cooper Raiff Returns
Cooper Raiff returns to the podcast (first time was Ep. 128) to discuss his latest project, the eight-episode, independently-made, decades-spanning series "Hal & Harper." He picks up right where we left off in the first interview, 5 years ago, taking us through the process of getting "Cha Cha Real Smooth" made, and how that green light helped him avoid compromising "Hal & Harper." He explains why no matter what success you've had (like winning top prizes at the biggest festivals for his previous two films) the industry makes you start over and prove each new project's worth. He talks about how the grueling shooting schedule took a toll on his health, what makes Lili Reinhard the perfect Harper, how ignoring good advice paid off, and much more. "Hal & Harper" is streaming now on Mubi. Back To One is the in-depth, no-nonsense, actors-on-acting podcast from Filmmaker Magazine.
