The actor and star of Netflix’s latest August Wilson adaptation spoke with VF’s Richard Lawson and David Canfield for a special live episode of ‘Little Gold Men’ at New York City’s Perelman Performing Arts Center.
Vanity Fair’s Little Gold Men podcast recently caught up with John David on his whirlwind press tour for the film, sitting down with the actor for a special live event at New York City’s Perelman Performing Arts Center—a recently opened multipurpose event space located right next door to VF’s One World Trade Center offices in Manhattan’s financial district.
