We are pinching ourselves. We had the honor and privilege to talk with the most incredible guest from Mary-Kate and Ashley's cinematic universe. This guest was one of the only female friends Mary-Kate and Ashley ever had in their full-length movies and one of the few actors asked back for multiple projects. Driven, sensitive, and out to save the world-- today we talk with Rachel Roth (Winning London, So Little Time)!

We had the most incredible conversation with Rachel about how she started acting at 6 years old (because according to the Sound of Music, that's how old you have to be to act), and her life as a teen actress in the late 90's and early 00's working for all the kid's channel heavy hitters: Nickelodeon, Disney, and of course, Dualstar. She tells us about her experience auditioning for Winning London, learning she wasn't the first choice to play Rachel, her whirlwind 48 hour notice that she would be filming in London, and how her relationship with Mary-Kate and Ashley shaped her outlook on Hollywood.

This conversation was too good (and too long) to fit into one episode, so we leave you on a cliffhanger until part 2 next week, but let's just say, something's up with Robert Thorne...

HUGE thank you for Rachel to talking with us. We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we enjoyed recording. You can also watch the video version of this interview on our Patreon here!
