Stephen Root may not always be in a leading role, but that doesn't stop him from remaining incredibly busy.
You know the character actor from iconic roles as Milton Waddams in "Office Space" and Monroe Fuches in "Barry." Most recently, he's been nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for "Widow's Bay" and he's resumed voice work for the rebooted "King of the Hill" on Hulu.
In this episode, co-host Bruce Miller speaks with Root about his recent work and the challenges of recording voiceover remotely.
Miller and co-host Terry Lipshetz continue their discussion of "The Odyssey" and its ensemble cast, as well as the original Broadway cast of "Hadestown" returning for a filmed performance. They also discuss another film in the "A Devil Wears Prada" series.
