My name is Julian Gavilanes. I am an actor, filmmaker and now podcaster in NYC, who has an ever-growing fascination with the artists journey. Furthermore, how they've uniquely managed to stick with it through all the inevitable adversity that seems to be a prerequisite for getting to where they want to go.
Many artistic people will say, "you have to be delusional just to believe you even can." And this show attempts to explore how some of my favorite artists in the world learned to cross over from just believing that they could do this, to actually executing these "impossible" aspirations.
Ideally, through these conversations we will impart some level of valuable insight for all of us who are struggling to keep pushing the rock up the hill. Attempt to find the best skills for prioritizing self-care inside and keeping positivity at the forefront of their hearts. Because at the end of the day, no matter what level you reach--it doesn't get and easier. It just gets different. But the good news is, you're not alone. And you're far from inadequate. So, enjoy the talks and stay inspired!

Spenser Granese (Barry, Fear the Walking Dead, Better Call Saul, The Mayans and Pam and Tommy) is an actor who is on his rise. As someone who also got into the business late in his adult life, Julian and Spenser discuss what life was like before finding acting. How he's learned to let go of what's not in his control, after losing the biggest opportunity of his career. What it was like to get a message from George Clooney saying, "I love you but I have to let you go." How he has approached every new role he's gotten from a place of truth within himself, and what it's been like to wake up the following Monday after wrapping the best gigs of his life and being an unemployed actor again. We talk about climbing the industry ladder and how at "every next level there's another devil." Meaning, it never gets easier. It just gets different. And stressful but wonderful in its own unique new way. Spenser talks about working with Bill Hader on "Barr." How he manifested the role for himself. And finally feeling the pride of being unrecognizable to his own family in that role. Spenser has some incredible work coming out this year, so keep your eye out.
