Josh O'Connor takes the lead in 'Disclosure Day'

Hey, how are you feeling right now? Exhausted from the summer? Overwhelmed with the new school year? Restless? Anxious?

LifeKit is here to help. Consider us your mental health accountability buddy with episodes on everything from navigating social anxiety to unlearning perfectionism. Listen to the LifeKit podcast in the NPR app or wherever you get your podcasts. This is Fresh Air, I'm Tanya Mosley, and my guest today is actor Josh O'Connor. Many of us first came to know O'Connor as a young Prince Charles and the Netflix series The Crown, as a charming washed up tennis player in challengers, and the young priest in the latest knives out film.

But for a significant portion of his career, he's also worked in independent film, including the British drama God's Own Country. This summer, he turns up somewhere different as the lead in Steven Spielberg's latest blockbuster, Disclosure Day. It's Spielberg's return to the question that gave us close encounters of the third kind and ET Are we alone? O'Connor plays a cybersecurity expert who gets hold of the government's proof that That aliens are among us and decides the rest of the world has a right to see the evidence.
