For Episode 14 Chuck is joined by actor Rob Nagle for a conversation about influences, tackling auditions, and acting for stage versus screen. Rob was a fantastic guest and this conversation is probably one of the most organic ones we've recorded for this podcast. He is so effortlessly open and humorous and warm; it was a true pleasure to talk theatre with such a talented and dedicated professional. Give it a listen. We think you'll dig it.
Rob was raised in Eugene, Oregon… then in DeKalb, Illinois… and then in Williamsburg, Virginia... he is a self-professed “faculty brat." He graduated from Northwestern University in 1992 with a double-major in theatre and philosophy. But please don’t ask him any questions about Kierkegaard.
