  How do you go from sharing a cramped Los Angeles bedroom with four other guys to landing a full series order from Netflix off a single pitch? In today's episode, we sit down with Dan Perrault, the visionary co-creator of the hit mockumentary American Vandal and the series Players, to explore his incredible journey from producing viral YouTube sketches to becoming a major showrunner and actor. Dan pulls back the curtain on the "streaming gold rush" that launched his career, the high-stakes crunch to flesh out a season-long arc in just two weeks, and his fascinating experiences acting opposite Hollywood icons like Jamie Foxx and Mark Ruffalo. From mastering the technical art of self-taping to why a failed pilot script is actually a powerful tool for growth, Dan offers a candid and inspiring look at how to write your own path in an industry that rarely hands out invitations. Tune in to discover how a DIY spirit and a parody about high school graffiti turned into a global phenomenon. These are unforgettable stories that landed Dan Perrault right here.

• MARGOT BINGHAM: Befriending the Jitters 26.05.2026 1t 9min

  From the streets of Pittsburgh to the high-stakes stages of Broadway and HBO, join us for an electrifying look into the career of Margot Bingham. Margot shares the raw story of moving to New York City with a 12-month ultimatum from her parents, only to beat the odds by becoming the only person booked from an open call of 5,000 hopefuls for Rent. We'll dive deep into her breakout role as a singer and actor on Boardwalk Empire, her experience working with the legendary Spike Lee on She's Gotta Have It, and her recent work on the upcoming series Watson. Beyond the credits, Margot gets incredibly candid about battling stage fright, navigating the "toxic" side of major talent agencies, and why she views show business as a product-driven industry that requires a "mama bear" spirit to survive. These are the unforgettable stories that landed Margot Bingham right here.

• WEDNESDAY WISDOM: The Bold Swing That Books the Room 20.05.2026 14min

  Devan Chandler Long said it plainly — "It's embarrassing not to go for it. Because if you don't commit 100%, you fail 100%." This week we get brutally honest about the subtle ways actors hold back without even realizing it — the bold choice quietly walked back mid-scene, the perfectly safe take that lands like a thud — and we break down three specific things to check before you ever hit record. The bold swings that miss are never failures. They're the data that eventually books the room. This one is a gut check. The good kind.

In this episode, Devan shares the eerie psychic prediction that saw him playing a Viking weeks before the audition for Ghosts even existed, plus the manifestation games he and his friends used to call in his breakout role. From his "cooking" philosophy of acting to the chaotic, joy-filled energy of working alongside a world-class comedy ensemble, Devan pulls back the curtain on his approach to acting, auditioning, and improvising on a network comedy. He also explains why every audition requires a different process — and how to know when improvisation actually serves the scene.

  Today, we are joined by the incredibly candid Tonatiuh, whose journey from years of uncertainty and hard-fought perseverance to starring opposite Jennifer Lopez is a testament to resilience, belief, and radical persistence.
