Aubrey Plaza has played a Marvel mutant, a social media-obsessed cyber stalker, an underground credit card scammer, and Aaron Burr. Understandably, she\u2019s a bit tired of all these characters getting painted with the same brush. \n \n\u201cSoon I'm going to get into the world of prosthetics\u2026 where I change my nose and my hair so people can just completely forget that it's me,\u201d she says. \u201cI'm always surprised that when I do something new, there's always that one person who says, 'there she goes, doing the Aubrey Plaza thing again.' I only have my own instrument to work with. Anyway, I sound bitter, but I'm not. But I am always surprised that people use 'deadpan' to describe some things that I've done. It just feels a little reductive. But that's my journey.\u201d\n \nOn this episode of In the Envelope: The Actor\u2019s Podcast, Plaza takes us even deeper into that journey, including her creative process for \u2018Emily the Criminal\u2019 and \u2018The White Lotus,\u2019 as well as what to expect from Francis Ford Coppolla\u2019s \u2018Megalopolis\u2019 and the MCU\u2019s \u2018Agatha: Coven of Chaos.\u2019\n---\nBackstage has been the #1 resource for actors and talent-seekers for 60 years.
