Emmy-winning actress Jodi Long is here. You Might Know Her From Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Dash & Lily, All-American Girl, The Hot Chick, Soursweet, Patty Hearst, Sullivan & Son, the 2002 Broadway revival of Flower Drum Song. We had such a far-reaching conversation with Jodi covering everything from her Marvel Cinematic Universe debut, her upbringing with vaudevillian parents, her solo show American Jade, and playing Margaret Cho's mother on the historic All-American Girl. All that plus her iconic line readings on Sex and the City and The Hot Chick, her voice work in Dash & Lily, and the importance of Flower Drum Song. Come for the sitcom and theatre conversations but stay for Striking Distance and The Exorcist III reveals!
