That One Audition with Alyshia Ochse

BRANDON JAY MCLAREN: Don't Act in a Vacuum


Listen Later

Today, we're thrilled to catch up with an actor who truly embodies the "malleable" spirit of our industry, Brandon Jay McLaren. Since our last conversation in 2021, Brandon has been on an incredible run on hit shows like The Rookie, Snowfall, and The Cleaning Lady. Brandon shares how he masterfully juggled shooting Snowfall and The Rookie simultaneously, even requiring a wig transformation. Plus, Brandon shares what it was like working with his acting hero, Toni Collette, on his upcoming, genre-bending Netflix series, Wayward, which drops September 25th. We'll also delve into the current industry "lull," his pivot into creating his own projects, and his candid thoughts on self-tapes versus in-person auditions.

These are the unforgettable stories that landed Brandon Jay McLaren right here.
