In this week's episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing Drew Talbert, the creator behind the popular TikTok account @drew_talbert. I met him during a panel at the Groundlings and he has so much to share with you all. We talked about his journey as an actor and how he stumbled upon success with his hilarious characters that live within his restaurant, Bistro Huddy. Inspired by his years working as a waiter, Drew's skits continuously go viral for his hilarious and real portrayal of the hospitality business. He also gets into the importance of community and connection in content creation, as well as the ins and outs of revenue on TikTok. Drew shared some valuable insights and advice for actors looking to put themselves out there on the internet to start creating their own content. If you're an actor, or anyone who wants to break into the online space, Drew's advice this episode will set you up for success!
