This week on BEFORE THE BREAK, the boys sit down with the very talented theatre and TV/Film actor, Michael Kostroff. Michael has decades of experience, and has appeared on such shows as The Wire, The Plot Against America, The Deuce, The Good Wife, The Blacklist, among dozens of others. He also appeared in the first National Tour of the B'Way musical, The Producers. We discuss growing up shy, not getting consistent work until his late thirties, the impracticality of the entertainment industry, the disservice of "positive thinking", switching coasts, the importance of being a good person on set, how to deal with getting new lines on set, and accepting that not booking the role is the norm. That and much more!
