S2 - Episode 16

Frank Langella’s six-decade career as an actor has earned him four Tony awards for his work on the Broadway stage, an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor and television’s highest honor, the Emmy Award. In this profoundly insightful episode of The Thread, we meet the man behind the artistic mask. Frank Langella has portrayed iconic characters from a tortured ex-president (Frost/Nixon) to an immortal Transylvanian Count (Dracula). The Frank Langella you will meet in this episode is a complex and deeply thoughtful human being, even more fascinating in real life than the characters he's played on stage and screen. Now, at age 86, he shares his hard-earned wisdom with eloquence and humility. He sums it up best in one sentence: "It's important to always live life, at any age, with a question mark, not an exclamation point.”
