Now You See Me with Cassandra Lee Morris

Kyle Hebert has voiced over 700 characters for anime and video games like Dragon Ball Z, Bleach, JuJutsu Kaisen, Naruto and Street Fighter. We chat about his decades-long career, how he made the move to Los Angeles from Texas, the very real jealousy that comes with competing against younger actors, how he handles being an introvert in an industry that seemingly celebrates extroverts, what therapy taught him personally and professionally, and more! We also talk about how he networked his way into studio auditions in Los Angeles and teachers he's learned from and looks up to.

Author Amy Spalding ("The Summer of Jordi Perez," "We Used to be Friends") joins Cassandra for the most hilarious episode yet. These old friends cover A LOT, from performing at the Upright Citizens Brigade theater in Los Angeles (and why they were never asked back), how Amy landed her dream agent and published multiple novels without a fancy writing degree, how Amy pivoted from writing about straight romance to queer romance, how peak Twitter (ahem, X), shaped so much of their 2010s, LGBTQ culture in the 90s, and more! Get ready to laugh, folks.
