Twice a year, Variety Studio hosts a series of celebrity interviews with Actors on Actors, which originally launched in 2014. The two annual installments are centered around specific award seasons — Spring ahead of the Emmys and Fall ahead of the film awards circuit (the Oscars, BAFTAs, Golden Globes, and SAG Awards).
Variety recently released their lineup of 13 interviews, each featuring two actors in conversation with one another. This pre-Emmy slate is an interesting mix, with some pairings being an obvious nod to current Emmy contenders — Noah Wyle from The Pitt and Rhea Seehorn from Pluribus among them — while others lean more into nostalgia, reuniting beloved faces from broadcast television’s past, including Jennifer Aniston and Lisa Kudrow from Friends and Kit Harington and Peter Dinklage from Game of Thrones. Take a look at this spring’s full lineup.
