Growing up, Lee recognized herself in the 'really big, muscular performances' of Kilmer and Nicolas Cage. In Past Lives, she plays an immigrant torn between two men she loves.
Growing up in Los Angeles as the child of Korean immigrants, actor Greta Lee says she was expected to be ladylike, do well in school and"not be too loud." But those expectations didn't quite gel with Lee's aspirations.
It wasn't until Lee joined the theater program as an undergraduate at Northwestern University that she learned about sketch comedy, which opened her up as an actor."Through comedy I could play someone with ... a different physicality or someone much older, or all of these things that I was so hungry to try to take a stab at," she says.
That's not something that was on my vision board. I had never expected to do that. To be honest, I don't think that I was entirely confident that I had the capacity to do that. Acting is already hard and to do it in a different language – I was really challenged by the idea of whether or not I'd be able to pull it off, and do it in service of everything we wanted to accomplish with this movie.
Heidi Saman and Thea Chaloner produced and edited this interview for broadcast. Bridget Bentz, Seth Kelley and Beth Novey adapted it for the web.
