This week Charlie talks with his dear friend and grad school classmate Lawrence Ballard. Charlie and Larry discuss the use of a racial slur in a structured scene work exercise in the first year of their grad school training in 1998. The impact it had on Larry, on Charlie, and on the rest of their class is talked through with vulnerability and honesty. This is an amazing conversation about racism, white fragility, and the importance of tapping into the beautiful and the ugly parts of ourselves in order to truly illuminate the human condition. Larry and Charlie also share their thoughts on acting training in this country, and what they've learned from the next generation.
