Manage episode 423149173 series 3579443
The Career that Almost Wasn’t.
In this two-part episode of “At the Podium,” I sit down with LeRoy McClain. An award-winning actor who has distinguished himself On and Off Broadway, and in television shows such as the Sex and the City reboot And Just Like That (in the role of Andre Rashad Wallace) and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (in the role of Shy Baldwin) and the feature film Respect (in the role of Cecil Franklin).
In Part I The Career that Almost Wasn’t we delve into the journey of his career and how he transitioned from his love of a life in the theater where he played such iconic roles as Hamlet in Hamlet, Cassius in The Public’s Othello with Philip Seymour Hoffman and Jessica Chastain, and Walker Lee Jr. in A Raisin in the Sun to his burgeoning career in front of the camera. LeRoy also gives us a personal and touching view of his relationships with three major leading ladies in his career: Jennifer Hudson (Respect), Rachel Brosnahan (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) and Karen Pittman (And Just Like That) – and what he learned from working with these three powerhouse artists. We also explore how the untimely death of his father made him consider giving up his acting career but was also the event in his life that freed him to experience some of the biggest successes in his career to date in television and film. And how one flippant comment impacted his view of himself and the trajectory of his career.
During it all, LeRoy is still able to acknowledge how lucky and blessed his life has been. He graciously gives flowers to the people in his life and career who not only believed in him along the way but gave him the opportunities to be who is and to work (the real gift for any actor or artist).
