About this episode

Josh O’Connor discusses his role in 'Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery' and shares insights about his experiences on set and beyond.

Josh O’Connor has four films out this year. In Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, Rian Johnson’s latest whodunnit, he shape-shifts into a boxer turned priest. O’Connor talks about how working with a stacked ensemble cast didn’t take away from the community and collaboration he craves, calling it “a beautiful thing.” He also reveals the moments on set with Daniel Craig and Glenn Close that left him in awe. Plus, The Crown actor dishes on what preparation was like ahead of hosting SNL, how his very late introduction to TikTok came about, and the current state of his beloved frog pond.
