Stephen Kunken is an actor and director. He starring in tv series The Handmaid's Tale, (2017), Billions (2016) and in movie Café Society (2016), by Woody Allen. He worked also in Bridge of Spies (2015) by Steven Spielberg. 

In the film “Café Society"  you play Joseph Randall. Please can you tell us about these roles?

In Cafe Society I play Leonard, Jesse Eisenberg's brother-in-law. Leonard is a professor and would be rightly called an intellectual Marxist. Leonard is married to Evelyn (Sari Lennick) and they have a daughter. Leonard sees the world as organized fundamentally by man's responsibility to his fellow man. His intellectual humanism is tested when a rowdy neighbor stretches his families good nature and patience. I've been a lifelong admirer of Mr. Allen's work and this archetype of "good man forced to make realistic choices in the "real world" has always been, to me, one of his most compelling narratives.
