Over his long career, JOHN LITHGOW has given us indelible performances in films and television and on the stage, an acting arc that has taken him from Shakespeare to sitcoms to serial killers. His range has been stunning—from the goofy Dick Solomon in 3rd Rock from the Sun to his unforgettable and moving portrayal of Winston Churchill in The Crown, with a raging, heartbreaking King Lear on the Delacorte Stage in Central Park in between. The author of the acclaimed memoir, Drama: An Actor’s Education, Lithgow will talk with his friend, the PBS NewsHour’s JEFFREY BROWN, about his acting life, about how he prepares to play a historical figure, and about the similarities and differences between drama and comedy. Prepare to laugh and marvel.
