You've seen Mike Pniewski in everything from The Sopranos to The Good Wife/Fight, Law and Order (just about every incarnation!) and now Hightown on STARZ. He's a face you don't forget.
He's also a writer and an author. And calls fellow actor Michael O'Neill one of his best friends. So it was only natural that they would want to do a project together. When nothing right came along, they decided to create their own! Pniewski wrote the script for a 10-12 minute short film that featured just the two actors.
In our first interview with Pniewski, we found out how dissecting human cadavers changed his career trajectory, how he found out he got a part on The Sopranos, and how people sometimes respond to him in public!
Plus, insight into his character Ed on the show Hightown, a rapid-fire round of shows he's been in, and a question from listener Rebecca Griffith. Oh – and what it's like to act next to a Spit Bucket!
