Today, we are joined by the incredibly candid Tonatiuh, whose journey from years of uncertainty and hard-fought perseverance to starring opposite Jennifer Lopez is a testament to resilience, belief, and radical persistence. We dive into the "artistic altitude" of a career that spans from a grueling audition process for Kiss of the Spider Woman to navigating the high-stakes "scramble" of Hollywood publicity and the "valley moments" in between. Tonatiuh pulls back the curtain on the mental health toll of the business, the transition from "chasing" agents to finally being chased by the industry, and the radical persistence it took to hire a makeup artist to age him mid-audition just to prove he was right for the part. Get ready for an honest, unfiltered masterclass on what it truly takes to sustain a creative soul when the cameras stop rolling and the real work of reclaiming yourself begins.

Welcome to an unforgettable episode where we dive deep into the "lottery" of the acting world with the remarkably talented John Magaro. Join us as John reveals how he transitioned from the "analytical bullshit" of conservatory training to a career defined by honesty and discovery, sharing the stage with icons like Nathan Lane and navigating the high-stakes sets of The Big Short and Orange is the New Black.

In this episode, we explore two guests this week. Two completely different paths. One lesson that ran through both conversations — do you actually trust yourself? Inspired by Christina Chang's powerful question "do I trust me?" and Julee Cerda's story of running late to her first major TV audition and booking it anyway, this episode digs into the tension between following the breakdown and honoring your own instincts — and why your self tape is the ONE place where your interpretation gets to lead. Plus, why week three of Self Tape May is the perfect space to come test your instincts, gain new tools, and build the kind of self-trust that makes you dangerous in any audition room. Go listen to both full episodes first — then come right back here. 🎬
