PODCAST| Angelo Acerbi interviews Richard E. Grant, actor of the film Can You Ever Forgive Me?.

Talking about his last film, Can You Ever Forgive Me?, by Marielle Heller, we discover how easy it has been for him to click and connect with his co-star Melissa McCarthy, and how he worked to build up his character. After a 30 years old career he still manages to get roles in very diverse films, from independent ones like this to Star Wars. Pretty impressive, indeed.
