Previous guests include Oscar Nominee Michael Shannon, Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award Winner Tracy Letts, Steppenwolf ensemble member and Tony nominee Amy Morton, the Grammy nominated Spektral Quartet, and improv legends TJ Jagadowski, David Pasquesi, and Susan Messing.
"Doing improv with Michael Patrick Thornton forced me to find my self. My true self. And then discard it and come up with something better." - Oscar Nominee Michael Shannon
Thornton became a household name as Dr. Gabriel Fife on ABCs Private Practice as the love interest of Broadway theatre legend Audra McDonald. Recently, his on-screen scene partner was Oscar winner JK Simmons on Counterpart. Thornton stars in the award-winning film The View From Tall for which he won Best of The Midwest Best Actor Award.
