This week on Tipsy Casting, we’re joined by our longtime friend and wildly talented actor, Lukas Gage, who just dropped his debut book, I WROTE THIS FOR ATTENTION.

In this candid and hilarious conversation, we dive into the origins of our friendship, his infamous viral Zoom moment, the “aha” shift that changed everything in his career, and the realities of typecasting and timing in the audition world. Lukas also opens up about the process of writing his book, the search for validation, and what’s next in his ever-evolving journey.

Oh...and yes, we talk tattoos.
