… Attach yourself to real life as much as possible. Like, feel all the things and truly feel them. When you feel sad, embrace it; when you feel happy, embrace it. Remember them because you’re going to need to use them. Take them and almost be happy that you’ve been given them. No one wants to be happy for sadness, but understand that it’s part of life. Loss, sadness, anger, and all that. And learn how to be aware of them so you can use them. Because that’s what your job is. You are a court jester. You’re a mirror of what goes on every day.

I had the distinct pleasure of talking to Theo Rossi. Theo can currently be seen in the Roadside Attractions/Vertical feature EMILY THE CRIMINAL opposite Aubrey Plaza. He is nominated for a 2023 Independent Spirit Award for “Best Supporting Performance” for his role as Youcef. The film premiered at Sundance 2022 and garnered an impressive 94% on Rotten Tomatoes
