From pre-med at Columbia to a Tony nomination on Broadway, Gabby Beans has carved out one of the most unique journeys in the industry. She shares how she navigated early setbacks (including being dropped by her first big manager) to build her career from the ground up with fearless off-Broadway work. That perseverance has more than paid off: Gabby earned a Tony Award nomination for her Broadway debut in The Skin of Our Teeth. Most recently, she’s stunned audiences on Broadway in Sam Gold’s Romeo + Juliet, taking on the dual roles of Mercutio and Friar Lawrence. On screen, Gabby’s credits are just as impressive—House of Cards, Succession, Blue Bloods, The Good Fight, and her recent breakout in Apple TV+’s Presumed Innocent alongside Jake Gyllenhaal, Ruth Negga, and Bill Camp.

Gabby opens up about the highs and lows of her journey, why she loves Zoom chemistry reads, and the wisdom she’s gained from working with some of the industry’s most visionary directors. This episode proves that in a career where “nothing ever happens the way you think it will,” passion and persistence truly light the way.
