Today we're diving into the incredible, globe-spanning journey of Julee Cerda, who traded the high-energy grind of New York City's Broadway stages for a new life in London. From booking a major nine-episode arc on Blindspot after taping an audition in a camping cabin, to landing a coveted role in Othello alongside legends like Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal, she opens up about navigating a thriving career while raising a family. Julee also shares hilarious and high-stakes audition stories, including running late to her very first major TV audition… and still booking the job. It's a candid, inspiring conversation about trusting your instincts, embracing the chaos, and finding truth on both stage and screen.
