Jake Johnson (We’re Here to Help, The Dink, New Girl) is an actor, writer, and podcast host. Jake returns to the Armchair Expert to discuss why anything that can still evoke fading old school Hollywood is special, how everything feeling like a black box theater has him falling in love with acting again, and focusing on playing the game his way while he’s here. Jake and Dax talk about letting go of control to be present in his movie The Dink, why he strategizes his workflow to stay ahead of the darkness, and how he tries to re-engineer doing this business out of love. Jake explains building up better after the loss of a close friend, finding someone a kidney through his podcast We’re Here to Help, and the terrifying, thrilling process of performing scenes with Tom Cruise.Follow Armchair Expert on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.
