The Reporter's Notebook: We talk to actor William H. Macy

LAS CRUCES - Audiences have seen actor William H. Macy appear on screen in hits like “Fargo,” “Room,” “Magnolia” and “Shameless,” and now Las Crucens will have the chance to see him in person at the Las Cruces International Film Festival where he will be presented with the 2022 award for Outstanding Achievement in Entertainment.

The seventh annual film festival will take place in-person March 2-6 at Cineport 10. On the second day, “Fargo” will be on the big screen followed by a question-and-answer session with Macy.

The actor told the Sun-News that he enjoys taking part in film festivals where independent films are celebrated. He described the festivals as the “lifeblood” of indie films.

This week, we talk to Las Cruces Sun-News trending reporter Leah Romero about her interview with Macy — and we hear from Macy himself.
