In the Envelope: The Actor’s Podcast features in-depth conversations with today’s most noteworthy actors and creators. Join host and senior editor Vinnie Mancuso for this guide to living the creative life from those who are doing it every day.
Kit Connor is on one hell of a run. Late last year, there was the one-two punch of his lead voice role in the Oscar-nominated animated film “The Wild Robot” and the release of Season 3 of “Heartstopper,” Netflix’s massively successful teen romance that he’s starred on since 2022. He also shot “Warfare,” the intense Navy SEAL ensemble film from co-directors Alex Garland and Ray Mendoza (in theaters April 11) and had his Broadway debut in “Romeo and Juliet.” It’s a wide range of projects—all of them, Connor says, their own unique opportunity to grow as an artist.
“Acting is fascinating because everyone is in pursuit of this intangible thing: Everyone is striving for the perfect performance,” he tells us. “And yet there really is no such thing. But you can feel it when you get close. With every job, I take one small step closer. I’m still far off. But the pursuit is what acting is all about.”
On this episode of In the Envelope: The Actor’s Podcast, Connor dives into his career and process, his ambitious goals, and how he’s planning for the inevitable end of “Heartstopper.”
