Charisma Carpenter interviews Eric Balfour, who played Jesse McNally, Xander's best friend and the first Scooby to get turned, more than two decades after they last spoke. Eric gets into auditioning for Xander and landing Jesse instead, knowing from day one that his character was built to die, and the misery of those early vampire contacts and fangs that left him basically blind on set. He looks back on thirty years in the business, his recent run on Hacks, and why he tells young actors to stop waiting for permission and make their own thing. Plus an honest, funny turn on fatherhood and the parts of Hollywood that quietly break people.

Old friends, real talk, and a new chapter for the channel. The B*tch is Back.
