Amy Landecker, Actor, Writer, Director, “Graduate Level Freedom”

04/08/19 • 68 min

My guest this week is someone I admire and I’m lucky I get to call her my friend. She has so much wisdom to offer, so get a notepad and write down all the good takeaways she’s about to offer. She got her start in the voiceover and theater worlds of Chicago, and explains why Chicago theater is hands down the best ever. Went to NY for theater, then to LA and landed some “serious” roles, one of them was in a Cohen Brother’s film, another in Transparent as Sarah Pfefferman - which just wrapped it’s series musical finale. Have a listen and you will love Amy Landecker ALMOST as much as I do.

Paul Jane Hamilton, Make Up Artist, “The Nicest Place On Set”

My guest this week is originally from down under. She won the lottery, a different kind of lottery, and came to the U. S. and became a makeup artist, but it didn’t happen fast and it wasn’t easy. But she has amazing tips on who to follow in the industry, what’s real on Instagram, and how to approach someone to get a job in a make up trailer on set. She also offers up what she does when she takes a breather. I hope you enjoy my chat with Paula Jane Hamilton.

Ryan Heffington, Choreographer & Director, “Don’t Care & Don’t Stop”

My guest on this week’s podcast is a choreographer and art director, and he and I lived together for a 9-week stint in New York City, where we were both cast in an off Broadway show with our friend Margaret (Cho). Even though that was 2007, it feels like more than a lifetime ago - so much has changed for the both of us. In particular, he has expanded and exploded, and is in high demand for his unique and visionary style of movement direction. I can guarantee everyone listening has seen his work, maybe without realizing it, because his work circulated literally, BILLIONS of times. Heres a hint: #chandelier.

He has the gift and ability to make absolutely anyone to feel good about moving their body as art and expression, IF you’re willing.

I loved catching up with my old friend Ryan Heffington, hope you enjoy our chat.
