Laurie Metcalf: A Year of Wins and Boundary-Pushing Roles

Laurie Metcalf reflects on a blockbuster year after winning a Gotham TV Award for Big Mistakes and a Tony for Death of a Salesman, while continuing two Broadway shows and eyeing Season 2 of Big Mistakes. She discusses her love of originating new plays, the challenges of live theater during Tony season, and her goal to avoid being boring by pushing her craft across stage and screen (Hacks, Getting On, Monster). She’s enjoying the collaborative, improvisational pace of TV and looks forward to deeper work with colleagues like Dan Levy and Taylor Ortega in the next season.
