Participants: Sarah Paulson, Constance Zimmer, Kerry Washington, Kirsten Dunst, Jennifer Lopez, Regina King, Julianna Margulies
Some things to expect:
- There is talk about being a woman in the business, working with or lack of female directors, etc.
- There is talk about how it's hard to work on TV because everything moves so fast compared to working on a film
- Lopez talks about how men get away with unprofessional behaviour on set while she can be late once for 15 mins and get berated; women also can't be passionate and opinionated
- King talks about her experience directing and acting
- Paulson and Washington talk about portraying a real-life person and how they are 'defensive' about their characters (can't think of a better word right now)
- Zimmer talks about how horrific her character on Unreal is, yet how refreshing it is that a female character can get away with that kind of behaviour
Participants: Cuba Gooding Jr., Rami Malek, Paul Giamatti, Forest Whitaker, Wagner Moura, Bobby Cannavale
Some things to expect:
- Gooding Jr. talks about how he chooses roles/how that has changed
- Malek makes a deliciously awkward "never heard" joke when Whitaker is talking about a neverheard project of his. He also talks about how after doing Mr. Robot and seeing its impact on audiences, he is more drawn to other projects that might be impactful
- Cannavale used to be typecast as a nice guy for a while, gets suggested Italian roles a lot
- Giamatti has turned down roles for being too violent; stuff like golden showers are okay because they're not psychopathic activities
- Moura had to learn to speak Spanish for his role and filmed the first season separated from his family
- Whitaker hesitated taking the role of someone with dementia because he was worried about it doing lasting damage, based on his experiences portraying characters with mental illness before

It only took 9 years to make my first post here! I watched the videos late last night so some notes may be a bit off.
