Allison Janney and Andrew Rannells Talk Technique and Takeaways from ‘Miss You, Love You’ [VIDEO INTERVIEW]

Allison Janney and Andrew Rannells, both seasoned actors with plenty of live stage experience, are no strangers to taking on long scenes of heavy dialogue. However, they both showcase masterclass acting performances in the new HBO Original Film Miss You, Love You.

Playing characters Diane and Jamie, the story—written and directed by Jim Rash—follows two strangers dealing with their own grief and frustrations, while ultimately learning to lean on one another to find the motivation to move forward in life. 

I sat down with Rannells and Janney to discuss the creative symmetry of their individual acting techniques, their hopes that viewers will take away from this film, what brings the greatest passion to their own lives today and much more.
