Gurus is an epic tale that includes many names we will recognize and many more we will not. While the stories of individual star actors have been told and retold, their collective story - how acting went from stagey and artificial to the more truthful and authentic approaches of today - has not. The saga begins with Stanislavsky and the Moscow Art Theatre, but It also includes important, lesser known figures. In a sprawling saga that includes true believers and apostates, radicals and improvisers, from Stanislavsky to Succession, the Gurus podcast aims to tell the whole story.

17 - Michael Cerveris in Conversation

At the age of 25, Michael Cerveris was playing the hot new kid from Britain in the TV series Fame. Fast forward 30 years, Cerveris is a seasoned pro with 10 Broadway credits, 4 Tony nominations and 2 wins, one for featured actor in Sondheims’s Assassins and one for leading actor in Fun Home. On TV he’s had major recurring roles in Fringe, Treme, The Good Wife and, currently, The Gilded Age. None of it is surprising, really, when we see all of that early promise in the young star of Fame in 1986. But how did he get there? In this conversation I ask Michael Cerveris to talk about his training pathway.
