Show Notes
David Lee Strasberg is the son of Lee Strasberg, the acting coach who introduced the method theory of acting to Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, and Marlon Brando. David has followed in his father's footsteps, serving as an acting coach and actor in his own right.
But why was he at this year's THU festival in Portugal, and why did Chris record this podcast with him? It turns out that digital and 3D art has a lot in common with acting: it's all about faking things. And they're both about embracing passion, and changing your approach to art so you get it right.
Strasberg's knowledge of all things theatrical has a lot of relevance to digital humans, too—especially when it comes to avoiding a trip down the uncanny valley. It's a blindsider of a podcast, and David's thoughts on how we recognize and interact with fellow humans are literally mind-blowing.
