Talking Studio [Episode 19]: An actor, a judge: OHIO Theater alum William T. Newman, Jr.

Talking Studio (Ohio University)

Actor, Virginia circuit court judge, and OHIO School of Theater alum William T. Newman, Jr. has a full life. He thrives through his love and respect for both the law and the stage, two practices with skills that often intertwine. Earlier on this 7th day of October 2022, Judge Newman was awarded the prestigious Ohio University Alumni Association's Medal of Merit Award, a recognition of his long and robust career in both the law and on the stage, in television and on the big screen. OHIO's College of Fine Arts sat down with Judge Newman for an intimate interview about his career arc in both the law and in the theater arts. Listen to how he got bitten by the acting bug, what makes him nervous (spoiler: not much!), and how he sees trust as being central in both the courtroom and on the stage.
