Sam Waterston says he's been been lucky to have good fortune in his career and personal life. He's been nominated multiple times for Emmy, Academy, and Tony Awards and he won Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Awards for performances playing men whose moral compass points north.
The real man is much the same. He cares as deeply about social justice as the characters he plays on stage. He cares about a lot of things: faith, equality, democracy, science, and the environment - for starters. He thinks there's too much talk and not enough thoughtful deliberation in our public speech. He owns his own farm. We had so much to talk about with Sam that we never really got to his acting.
