I'm Sam Rockwell, I'm nominated for Best Actor in a Leading Category, I think, and for 2022 Tonys
0:14
I am thrilled to be sitting in this chair with you, my friend. Thank you, me too, man
0:18
How does it feel? It feels great. It's a win for the whole play, Best Revival
0:26
I feel it's a win for Lawrence, Darren, and Neil and I. We worked really hard
0:34
Being back on stage again, back in New York on a stage, what that means to you
0:40
It means a lot. Especially after the pandemic, coming back is even more of an event
0:50
I feel like it's more of a big deal. Is this the first Tonys since the pandemic
0:56
Yeah, so it's a big deal. I think it's a big deal. Being at Circle in the Square, you're so close to the audience
1:03
It's got to be so great. We feel like we're in that shop with you. Tell me what that's like for you, having the audience so close to you
1:10
It's very interesting. You can see people when they take their masks off
1:15
You can see them when they have their phones on. It's startling and interesting
1:23
The three of you together up there, what you love as this brotherhood that the three of you have
1:28
Rehearsing with Neil Pape in that room and now being on stage together
1:32
The three of you, what does it mean? It's really exciting. We feel so lucky to be there
1:42
I think we have a lot of appreciation for being there. It's a big deal
1:46
Because of your celebrity from film and everything else, many people will probably be coming to the theater for the first time
1:53
What does that mean to you? There were so many young kids who had never been to a show before the night I was there
1:57
You introduced them to the theater. What does that mean to you? It's great. I think Darren and Lawrence and I have a nice following
2:05
It's nice to get people's asses in seats. It's really nice. You always come back to the theater. Just tell me why
2:13
I think I come back because you find out what you're made of as an actor
2:20
It's kind of a gymnasium for actors
