Variety’s “Actors on Actors” returns for its 22nd season with the biggest stars of this year’s Emmys season.

Among the highlights of the latest lineup: Colin Farrell talks about his role as Oz Cobb in “The Penguin” with Danny DeVito, who famously portrayed the Batman villain in Tim Burton’s “Batman Returns”; a conversation between father and son Arnold and Patrick Schwarzenegger; Seth Rogen reunites with Jason Segel, his co-star from “Freaks and Geeks”; Kate Hudson and Kathryn Hahn — who starred together in “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days” and “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” — discuss their respective leading roles in “Running Point” and “Agatha All Along”; and a “Felicity” reunion with Keri Russell and Scott Speedman.

One conversation a day will air on Variety.com for 14 consecutive days, from June 2 to June 15. The “Actors on Actors” magazine issue will hit newsstands on June 4.
