Today, we’re thrilled to welcome back a truly special guest—one of only three returning guests in our show’s history—the incredible actor Alain Uy. Since his last appearance in January 2021, Alain’s career has soared, with standout roles in The Cleaning Lady, Power IV, and most recently Ballard.

But here’s the twist: despite this impressive success, Alain candidly admits to quitting acting multiple times a year—sometimes even right before a premiere. Alain offers invaluable insight into his creative process. He shares his technical self-tape approach—including the unexpected power of the cold read—and how embracing imperfection can create audition magic. You’ll learn his simple but transformative framework for breaking down any scene as an argument, negotiation, or seduction.

These are the unforgettable stories that landed Alain Uy right here.
