Off Camera with Sam JonesStaffel 6
TV-14
Photographer and director Sam Jones sits down with the myriad professionals of television and movies, and other celebrities (great skateboarders, for example), to discuss their development before fame, their passions beyond their careers, and gives them a space to open up about their insight into their business and their own abilities. Filmed in black and white, with a few deep cushion chairs and sparse set, the show relies on Sam's ability to relate to the guests and their will to speak freely with him.

- Kate Beckinsale
F5Kate BeckinsaleKate joins Off Camera to talk about the edge and subtle humor she brings to even her most serious roles. She has the emotional intelligence of someone who can at once deeply feel the grab bag of experience life hands us, and ponder it from a philosophical remove. If she’s found some of that intelligence to be hard-won, she nevertheless brings it to bear in portraying the kind of layered, complex characters we see around us every day, but all too infrequently on screen. Carry on, Ms. Beckinsale, carry on. - Nick Offerman
F6Nick OffermanNick joins Off Camera to talk about writing, ranting and why he loves his new film The Founder, despite having called its subjects "purveyors of the McShit Sandwich." He also shares why he won't be playing Ron Swanson knockoffs for the next 10 years. That's fine with us, as long as he keeps playing Nick Offerman. - Ewan McGregor
F7Ewan McGregorEwan joins Off Camera to talk about image, the classic films, consistency and sameness, which you won't find, unless you look at the acting itself. All his performances are among the most unlabored and unguarded you’ll find. He plays straight and gay, outcasts, open-hearted romantics and con men with no more effort than is needed. If he ever slacks off to the tune of, say, two projects a year, it’s usually to risk a bracing shot of live theater, singing in a Disney musical, or a body- and soul-jarring motorbike circumnavigation of the globe, visiting UNICEF programs along the way. He also seems undaunted by the tricky business of sequels, soon revisiting his breakout role with the follow up to Trainspotting. None of which really answers the question of which box to check for McGregor—leading man or character actor? As long as we get to keep watching, we don’t really care. In fact, we hope we never find out.
