Jay Duplass

I grew up Catholic, and I am a pretty shy person.

Independent filmmaking burns off a lot of storytelling fat.

In my short acting career, I’ve been in incredible relationships with incredible women.

I grew up in a small, old-school Catholic world, imprinted with an above-average number of categories and judgments.

From casting to hiring to awards races like the Emmys, taking active steps toward inclusion will make for richer stories, a stronger democracy, and a better world.

The idea that a lot of sons marry their mothers subconsciously, which I have done in my own life, was interesting to explore.

If we are to maintain a relevant and just industry, we must all open our eyes to the obvious lack of equality in wages, representation, and access.

I do own a unicycle, which I use for workout purposes as opposed to doing tricks.

I had gone to a Catholic prep school where everyone was rich and having kids by the time they were 30.

I thought acting was showboating.
