What is Mr. Corman about?
Mr. Corman examines the title character’s struggle with his anxiety and his sense of self. Gordon-Levitt says that Corman, a teacher who longed to be a professional musician, is almost a look at an alternate-universe version of himself. He explained to Entertainment Weekly, “Mr. Corman is probably the most distilled expression of myself that I’ve ever managed to achieve. I always wanted it to come from a heartfelt place. My favorite shows on TV, that I really gravitate to, are ones that really come from the heart. Mr. Corman is my go at that, and sometimes it’s funny and sometimes it’s sad and sometimes it’s weird and sometimes it’s beautiful, but it’s always really heartfelt. ‘Core’ means ‘heart,’ and he’s Mr. Corman.” He added of the character, “He’s not getting to do his art for a living; he’s teaching fifth grade. He loves teaching, but he also wrestles with the insecurities that come with being an artist, wondering, ‘Am I good, is my art meaningful, am I just kidding myself, am I bad, am I stupid, am I meaningless?’”
How does Mr. Corman convey anxiety?
In Mr. Corman, Gordon-Levitt’s title character has an anxiety attack in the second episode, something the star has struggled with in the past. The creators of the series worked with neuropsychologist Gina Grimshaw to make it feel as real, honest and sensitive as possible. Gordon-Levitt was also careful not to let his own experiences color the portrayal too much, knowing that anxiety can manifest itself differently in everyone. Gordon-Levitt told Entertainment Weekly, “I asked her, ‘What is your biggest fear and your biggest hope for how a show would depict this?’ The first thing she said was, ‘I hope this can be a force for normalizing as opposed to stigmatizing.’ What we ultimately really want is to try to say, ‘This is something that many, many people are experiencing, you’re not crazy and you’re not broken, and we can all talk about it.’ I would love it if the show can be an easy conversation-starter [about mental health].” He added, “I had written that scene from my own firsthand experience of when I’m really upset or anxious. But, like I said, my experience isn’t exactly a bullseye for what would be called anxiety disorder. She said, ‘I wouldn’t bring it to the place of anger or crying. Maybe it’s more fear-based because that’s oftentimes what [anxiety] feels like, an uncontrollable fear.’” Next, find out all about the wellness-themed Hulu miniseries Nine Perfect Strangers.
