This week on The Vault, Amir & Monica welcome the brilliant, bold, and refreshingly honest Tituss Burgess for a masterclass in perseverance, purpose, and pure talent. From earning his equity card at Disney World to lighting up Broadway and stealing scenes on 30 Rock, Tituss shares the highs, the heartbreaking lows — including eviction notices and career doubts — and the divine intervention that led him to the iconic role of Titus Andromedon on Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.
He doesn’t believe in imposter syndrome, and how to navigate the politics of Hollywood, and why living outside the LA bubble keeps him sane. Tituss gets real about the hustle of voice acting (spoiler: it’s not as glamorous as it looks), the reality of making money in entertainment, and why multiple income streams are a must.
We also hear his take on the social media-to-stardom pipeline, what it’s like working with legends like Tina Fey and Eddie Murphy, and how staying spiritually grounded has been his superpower. And he has made up with Andy Cohen! This episode is raw, reflective, and filled with the kind of hard-won wisdom that can only come from someone who’s truly done the work — onstage and off.
