From Yellowstone to Lioness: Dave Annable Goes Beyond the Mic

Beyond the Mic with Sean Dillon

"You know, watching my grandfather deal with my grandmother's death or injuries or, you know, you never get to that place where you're like, oh, I got it all figured out, right? The problem. Problems will keep coming."

Welcome Dave Annable:

We’re joined on the Starline by an actor who is “Coachable”. You’ve seen him in Yellowstone, Walker, Brothers and Sisters. He was totally upset by John Krasinski from being labeled Sexiest Man Alive. He’s smoldering in season two of Paramount + “Lioness”. We welcome Dave Annable.

Dave, let’s go Beyond the Mic. This is such a star studded cast from your Zoe Saldana to Michael Kelly, Morgan Freeman and Nicole Kidman. How does it feel walking back on set with these stars?

Joe leans on and pushes away your character Neal through season one of Lioness. What is the biggest challenge as you read your portion of every script not knowing all the things she’s doing?

Who challenges you today and how has this show changed you?
