James Badge Dale on 'King Ivory' & 'Mean Streets'

Another one of those magical Feeling Seen manifestations this week: just a few episodes after discussing a film he starred in with director James Michael Powell (ep 196), James Badge Dale himself is with us to talk about his perspective on acting and how it was shaped by Martin Scorsese's MEAN STREETS. Dale, who has been in countless films, and blurs the line between leading man and character actor, would eventually go on to work with Scorsese in THE DEPARTED. Now, he's starring in a new film alongside Ben Foster, KING IVORY. Then, Jordan has one quick thing about Sam Wineman's debut feature, Hag. Jordan references a Vulture piece about the movies of the 2010s, which has a James Badge Dale section. Feeling Seen is hosted by Jordan Crucchiola and is a production Maximum Fun.
