Kristin Bauer (True Blood, The Boy Behind the Door) joins us this week to share her experience going from a small town upbringing in Wisconsin, to becoming a cosmetologist, and eventually falling in love with film and landing a dream role in True Blood. Kristin tells all this week, and opens up about some unfortunate experiences in this industry, including being fired off of HBO's Hung and an extremely uncomfortable and risque audition for Dancing at the Blue Iguana. We also talk about ageism in Hollywood, her love for the crew and writing on a set, and how she's able to pull from her emotions so easily during a performance.

Sam Jaeger (Parenthood, The Handmaid's Tale) joins us this week and opens up on how the repetition of denial as an actor has him feeling like his last job will be his last, despite his success in hit shows like Devil in Ohio, Parenthood, and more. Sam talks about how he feels like he's made it haphazardly through life with his ADD and how later in adulthood he faced anxiety and depression. We also get into what it was like directing co stars on Parenthood, his iconic Gene Hackman stories, and how he feels like sloppy seconds for Owen Wilson and Ewan McGregor.
