Paul Reiser & Chris Cottam- Hot Seat Interview- Actor/Writer/Director- The Problem with People
Paul Reiser is a tried and true New Yorker. A stand-up comic who had a bit of fate on his side to get his start and has made the most of every minute. From the 1980s, 90s, 2000s, and today, Reiser has made an impact with his witty sense of humor. He’s also been a part of great cinema and television. He hit it big in Barry Levinson’s Diner, then went from Beverly Hills Cop to Aliens, became a household name in Mad About You, and continues his success today in Stranger Things. His newest film The Problem with People is a darling story of a family setting aside old quarrels and reconnecting in Ireland. Reiser wrote the screenplay and connected with director Chris Cottam, whose previous work had won him a BAFTA TV Award, and they make a perfect pair. I was able to chat with Paul and Chris about their inspirations, playing a bad guy in Aliens, making a movie about male fragility, and much more. Watch it now:
