Episode notes
Kevin Kline on The Sound of Young America from Jesse Thorn on Vimeo.
The Sound of Young America was in Park City, Utah for the Sundance Film Festival this year, and we took the opportunity to talk to the hottest film directors, actors, and creatives. Here’s our first part in that series, in which we talk to actor Kevin Kline.
Kevin Kline is one of America’s greatest actors. He’s one of the few to have won an Oscar for a comic role (his amazing turn in “A Fish Called Wanda”), and he’s been acclaimed for his work in everything from contemporary drama to Shakespeare to light opera. We spoke with him at Sundance after the release of “The Extra Man”, a film adaptation of a Jonathan Ames novel. Kline stars as Henry, an eccentric older gentleman who makes his living as a social escort to New York’s high society widows.
