Tyler James Williams on 30 Years of Acting and Protecting the Next Generation

In this episode, Tyler James Williams gives a masterclass on his own acting technique: studying people, building characters, and finding the humanity behind every performance. We talk about his love for New York, how “Men In Black” made him fall in love with art and entertainment, and the care he has poured into creating the character of Gregory Eddie on “Abbott Elementary.” The Emmy-winning sitcom recently wrapped its fifth season, with Williams stepping into the director role again.
