Interview: Akiva Goldsman Talks ‘The Crowded Room’ and His Career Telling Stories

Over the years, Akiva Goldsman has done just about everything as a writer. Hell, he’s even won an Academy Award. In addition to having a Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar on his mantle for writing A Beautiful Mind, he’s been parts of several massive productions. These various directions his career has taken have sort of all led to him creating and shepherding The Crowded Room to the screen. Recently, we got on Zoom to talk about the show, his film work, what inspires him to tackle a project, and more. Today, it comes your way!

Below, you can hear my chat with Goldsman. We obviously talk about The Crowded Room a bunch, but I didn’t limit the conversation to this psychological thriller, considering the career that he’s had. Goldsman is happy to discuss it all, too, so it’s a wide ranging back and forth. Be sure to check out the series on Apple TV+ if you haven’t yet, as well as listening to us get into a discussion about that and more…
