Paul Walter Hauser joins us for a very special episode of MMO Interviews. We dive into his performance in the Oscar Nominated Richard Jewell and his experience throughout the past awards season as a contender for Best Actor. MMO & PWH break down some of the Oscar Reel scenes from Clint Eastwood’s latest, his chemistry with Supporting Actress nominee Kathy Bates, Sam Rockwell, and Clint Eastwood, and what the movie has meant to the legacy of Richard Jewell himself.

We also rattle off a few more questions about Paul’s other Oscar nominated films, I Tonya and Blackkklansman, what it means to him to be cast in another Spike Lee film - Da 5 Bloods, how he improvises for comedic effect, and how he crushed the role of Shawn in the Tonya Harding biopic.

Of course, PWH made our day and our year by joining us for this interview. So we had to ask him our customary parting question of what would be his version of the worst movie ever. He doesn’t disappoint with his answer. It is a film I NEVER wanna see (but also kinda do cuz it’s brilliantly terrible). Then we urge you to go see Richard Jewell, I Tonya, Blackkklansman, and everything this great young actor has done and will do in his career.

Please make sure to follow him on Twitter at PaulWHauser and on Instagram at pwhauser. Do look forward to his roles in upcoming films like Disney’s Cruella, Spike Lee’s Da 5 Bloods, Silk Road, Eat Wheaties, Adam, & No Apologies. Make sure to check out his work on Cobra Kai, Late Night, & Beats from his past year as well. PWH is certainly one of the nicest human beings on this planet, and we thank him for joining us.
