Rose Byrne

Rose Byrne has compiled one of the most wide-ranging acting resumes of the last decade, effortlessly bouncing from comedies like “Bridesmaids” and “Spy” to horror (“Insidious”), drama (“Mrs. America”) and beyond. She credits an insatiable curiosity for keeping her career eclectic. “To stay curious is really important. I think the minute you're not, then you’re probably not going to be doing very interesting work, perhaps,” she tells us. “Keep that curiosity alive… and also keep your life alive. Have as much of a rich life as you can in real life, not just in your work. I never think I've arrived, in any sense of the word, whether it's feeling completely creatively fulfilled or whatever it is; it does always feels like a constant journey of inspiration.” On this episode of In the Envelope: The Actor’s Podcast, Byrne guides us through her entire acting career, from getting turned down for drama school to a busy 2023 that includes two Apple TV+ series and a return to the “Insidious” franchise. Editor’s note: This interview was conducted prior to the SAG-AFTRA strike. --- Backstage has been the #1 resource for actors and talent-seekers for 60 years.
