Mark Duplass: Actor, writer, director and producer of Room 104 Jul 29, 2020

Show notes

When you hear the name Mark Duplass, the question isn't what does he do, but rather what hasn't he done? The actor, writer, director and producer, known for his roles on The League, The Mindy Project and the film Bombshell, received an 2020 Emmy Award-nomination for his role as Charles "Chip" Black on the Apple TV Plus series The Morning Show.

It's not the first time Duplass has won acclaim. In 2018, he and his brother Jay won an Emmy Award for producing the hit Netflix documentary series Wild Wild Country. The brothers will continue working together on both scripted and unscripted podcast series they're creating exclusively for Spotify. And if that's not enough, the pair oversee the brilliant and inventive HBO anthology series Room 104 which is currently in its fourth and final season.

In our interview, Duplass talks in-depth about Room 104 including starring in the fourth season premiere as a fictional obscure 90s rocker named Graham Husker. He also discusses working with Dave Bautista on an episode called Avalanche. He describes Bautista as giving "one of the most beautiful performances we've had on the show."
