539: A Conversation with Actor Steve Way! ('Furious')

This week Christina has the honor of talking to actor, comedian, writer and activist Steve Way about his incredible performance as Alden on Furious, creator Liz Meriwether's riveting crime thriller. (Furious was just renewed for a second season!) In a wide-ranging conversation, they talk about what drew Way to the role of Alden, what sets Furious apart from other police procedurals, Meriwether's uniquely complicated and multifaceted characters, and the show's moments of humor. Steve talks about the near-death experience at 14 that reshaped how he sees his own life, when he knew he was funny, and his years in stand-up comedy. As well as discussing his advocacy for disability rights, the gap between America's gestures of inclusion and its follow-through, and expanding opportunities for disabled actors in Hollywood, and so much more.
