Tommy Dewey

Tommy Dewey is best known for playing Alex Cole on the Hulu series “Casual” for five seasons. This year, two movies benefit from his talents—the Jason Reitman ensemble comedy “Saturday Night”, and Caroline Lindy’s romantic/horror/comedy “Your Monster,” where he brilliantly plays the titular character. On this episode, he talks about what went into deciding on the proper mixture of absurdity and tenderness  for that special role. He explains why, if a comedy script connects with him, he “maybe reads it once and stay the hell away from it.” Plus how writing can help you as an actor, the increased pressure of 3-dimensionality the higher you are on a call sheet, and much more.
