One could easily call Josh Pais a scene-stealer, but that's not accurate. He actually feeds the other actor in the scene and they both grow. Check out “Leaves of Grass” with Edward Norton, “Synecdoche New York” with Philip Seymour Hoffman, Lynn Shelton’s “Touchy Feely,” and his recent work on “Ray Donovan,” to name just a few of his dozens of credits. This fall he's in Norton's “Motherless Brooklyn,” and “Joker” with Joaquin Phoenix. In this episode he talks about finding the character in his body, counting on spontaneity, partying in the unknown, creating not recreating, and "Committed Impulse," his high performance training course for actors and non-actors alike. Plus much more!
