Mia Wasikowska

Mia Wasikowska’s first project in The States was the HBO series “In Treatment.” She was just 16 years old, but if you watched it then, you were probably in awe, like me, marveling at this seemingly fully formed acting artist, performing, with nuance and subtlety, well beyond her years. She continued to wow us with stellar work in “Jane Eyre,” “Madame Bovary,” “Alice In Wonderland,” “Stoker,” “The Double,” “Tracks,” “Damsel,” “Bergman Island,” to name a few. Her latest is an absolutely beautiful film called “Blueback.” In this woefully brief episode, she talks about the underwater acting she had to do in that film, why she doesn’t feel the need to prepare much anymore before ‘day one,’ “simple confidence” as a tool, why she turns down a lot of projects, and much more.
