My guest today, award-winning actor Oscar Isaac, was still deep inside one of the most consuming roles of his career, playing Victor Frankenstein, when director Lee Sung-jin came calling for him to star in the second season of his Netflix series Beef.
In Beef, Oscar plays Josh, the manager of an upscale Los Angeles country club.
He's polished and charming, but underneath that smooth exterior, his life is falling apart because he's stealing from the club, and underneath the facade, his marriage is also falling apart.
Oscar said at first he had a hard time connecting to this character.
But it helped when an acting coach told him to try to bring the character of Victor Frankenstein into the role.
How would Victor feel being trapped inside of Josh's small life?
This is exactly what Oscar needed to step into the character.
In this scene from the series, Josh and his wife, Lindsay, played by Carey Mulligan, are home after spending the day at the country club.
They get into an argument, which turns into a full-blown fight, with both of them saying the worst things a married couple could say to each other.
Oscar Isaac is a Golden Globe winner who has moved between indie films and global franchises from Shakespeare to Star Wars.
His films and TV work include Inside Llewyn Davis, Dune, Card Counter, Scenes from a Marriage, and most recently, Frankenstein.
