Chris Eigeman is an actor whose sardonic fast-talking style made him a favorite of directors Whit Stilman and Noah Baumbach. If you haven’t seen Metropolitan or Kicking and Screaming – not the soccer movie – go rent them right now. More recently, he was a sardonic and fast-talking insurance executive on The Gilmore Girls. But he obviously has a grasp on a whole range of emotions – which play out in the first feature film that he wrote and directed, to much critical acclaim. It’s called Turn the River, starring Famke Janssen and Rip Torn. Faith Salie welcomes the multi-talented Chris Eigeman to Fair Game.
