Actor James Wilder is on a roll lately, with his recent wins of two Best Actor Awards and an Independent Spirit Award on the film festival circuit. Happily, Wilder plans to drop by Movie Addict HQ on March 24 to discuss his new film 3 Holes and a Smoking Gun, a fascinating psychological thriller about screenplay mania. Wilder excels as a duplicitous, washed-up Hollywood screenwriter in this unusual indy gem. The Red Dirt International Film Festival named him Best Lead Actor, and the film also won the prestigious Grand Jury Prize at the same festival as well as Best Screenplay honors at L.A.’s Downtown Film Festival and Best U.S. Narrative Film of 2014 at the Laughlin International Film Festival.  

Wilder previously portrayed an ambitious lawyer in TV’s Equal Justice, a drug-dealing seducer in “Melrose Place,” and a demonic serial killer in the acclaimed movie Murder One. Among his other film and TV credits are the following:

Scorchers

Perfume

Mind Games

Man of the Year

Flypaper

Nevada

The Coriolis Effect

Bitten by the showbiz bug early, Wilder was performing his one-man show in Paris at the age of 14. Later, he studied at New York’s famous Actors Studio and appeared in Broadway’s Sugar Babies as well as with Ed Asner in the ABC Theater presentation Cracked Up.  

Wilder’s artistic interests go beyond the realm of acting. He is also a creative architect and designer.

This interview with James Wilder airs on BlogTalkRadio at 4 p.m. Eastern Time (1 p.m. Pacific Time) on Tuesday, March 24, 2015. During the live show, listeners are invited to call in and to participate in a chat. An archived segment will also be available.
