Ep437 - Ólafur Darri Ólafsson, Actor ‘Rainn Wilson and the Geography of Bliss’ & ‘Severance’

“I think it would have killed my career if I would have graduated from drama school and gotten all the lead parts and everything”, says actor Ólafur Darri Ólafsson. “I think that would have destroyed me because I really needed to just understand what we do.” Ólafur Darri Ólafsson is an Icelandic-American actor, producer, and screenwriter who is mostly known for ‘The Secret Life of Walter Mitty’, ‘The Meg’, and ‘Severance’. In this interview, we talk about what made him get into acting, ‘Rainn Wilson and the Geography of Bliss’, why he doesn’t live in Hollywood, networking and friendships with other actors, and how he sees his career.
