Oscar winner Adrien Brody joins The Losers' Club to chat about his latest role as Charles Boone in EPIX's new Stephen King series, Chapelwaite.
The veteran icon weighs in on his love for history, his appreciation for the Master of Horror, and his penchant for tough roles. His latest turn is one of his most harrowing performances yet as Brody admits to taking worm baths and even sticking one up his nose.
It's gross stuff, but also very funny to hear.
