Joanna Scanlan

British TV and film star Joanna Scanlan won the Best Actress BAFTA award last year for her incredible performance in “After Love.” She plays Mary, a devout convert to Islam who, shortly after becoming a widow, discovers her late husband's secret family. In this episode, she takes us on a little tour of the meaningful aspects of her acting process— the investigative phase of initial script reading, the “harnessing” of feelings, the mystical “clicking in” that happens through the words, and why it’s always been about the love of it. Plus much more!
