In this week’s conversation with actor, director, and producer Eriq La Salle, you'll learn why your characters are only as fascinating as the problems they face, why it’s more important to be interested in your story than to be interesting, why you should never judge your characters, and why you should always do your research. We also discuss the challenge of creating a hero who’s just as compelling as your villains and why stakes and complexity are two of the most important elements of characterization. Check out the episode, and be sure to pick up his latest literary thriller, LAWS OF SOLOMON.
