Macy (Fargo, Shameless, Boogie Nights) joins us this week for an honest and wide-ranging conversation about his life on stage and screen. William opens up about the persistence it took to land Fargo, the influence of his mentor David Mamet, and the nerves that never quite leave even after decades of work. We talk about his family memories, including smoking pot with his grandmother, why Shameless was such a rare gift, and how his Aspen distillery and love of music keep him grounded.
