The Big Lebowski (1998). In 35 mm, 117 min.

This series proudly salutes Jeff Bridges (born 1949), who film critic Pauline Kael has called the most natural and least self-conscious screen actor that ever lived.” As a child he acted in his father Lloyd Bridges's TV show Sea Hunt and then, as Bridges says, “went from high school-bang!-into the movies,” where for forty years his wide variety of memorable roles has dazzled audiences and critics.

With his carefree handsomeness and easygoing charm, Bridges makes acting look easy, but his inner method is a profoundly spiritual process. “One of the cool things about acting is to realize how accessible love is. You can invest another actor as your love. When two people open their hearts to each other that feeling of compassion and understanding is really accessible and quite deep.”

Jeff Bridges, Oscar-winning (Crazy Heart, 2010) actor’s actor and “the nicest guy in Hollywood,” musician, photographer, humanitarian and family man, has been invited to visit the series, which is co-produced by Tom Skerritt and Aron Michael Thompson of TheFilmSchool.
