Patricia Clarkson on why October Gale was one of her toughest roles ever
Oscar-nominated actress Patricia Clarkson says her latest project with Ruba Nadda was packed with lessons — including how to shoot a rifle and drive a speedboat.
Actress Patricia Clarkson joins guest host Piya Chattopadhyay to discuss her challenging role in Ruba Nadda's new thriller, October Gale. Against the backdrop of Ontario's Georgian Bay, Clarkson plays a doctor who takes in a wounded stranger (Scott Speedman) who's concealing a dark secret.
With old school gravitas and a gravel-and-honey voice, the award-winning actress has gained prominence with roles in The Station Agent, High Art, Pieces of April and Cairo Time. She explains why her latest project with Nadda was one of the most challenging of her career, and why she feels she hit her stride as an actress in her late 30s.
