The Actor's Craft: Bringing A Character to Life with Denis O'Hare

Denis O’Hare joins us on February 6 to explore the character of King Lear. The play is a complex family drama, centered on a father, his relationships to his three daughters, and his overwhelming need to be praised and flattered. But it’s also taking place at a time of political transition and upheaval, with issues of loyalty and betrayal in the public realm as well as the personal. It makes for a very rich character, one of the most compelling in all of Shakespeare.

Denis O’Hare has had a long career on stage and in film and TV. He won a Tony Award for his performance in Take Me Out and a Drama Desk Award for his role in Sweet Charity. He is perhaps best known now for his recurring roles on the HBO series True Blood and Fox’s American Horror Story. He has appeared in such films as Milk, J. Edgar, and Dallas Buyers Club, and in TV series including HBO’s Big Little Lies and CBS’s The Good Wife.
