James DuMont Returns Again!
Take a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know EVEN MORE about James DuMont! In this episode, we chat about the SAG – Aftra strike, his creative solution to ending pay inequity in the film & television industry, and various projects of his. We dive into HBO’s The Righteous Gemstones, and what makes him love to go to work on that show, and the massive respect he has for Danny McBride, and how the show is run. Then we take a slight detour to talk about our mutual friend, and previous guest Joe Lafferty. James shares fun stories of working with; and being friends with Nick Offerman, Danny Pino, and Michael Chiklis, before we jump into his experiences working with Tracee Ellis Ross, and Reggie Hudlin, on the Eddie Murphy led, Amazon Prime film Candy Cane Lane. This is the number one film on Amazon Prime WORLDWIDE! Lastly, James gives us some hints about working with Don Johnson on the upcoming film Unit 234.
