  • Thank you

    Dear Mr. Jeff Torowski,

    After listening to some of your episodes, I felt compelled to write to congratulate you on the work you do.

    You are a master. Thank you for making me enjoy and travel through long hours while performing almost robotic tasks at my current job. It comforts me to think that I still have many episodes left to discover and enjoy.

    I also listen to your podcast to fine-tune my English listening skills, as I am a Spanish native from Spain currently living in Miami. Unlike many... more

  • Authentic, Smart, and One of a Kind

    Honestly, I don’t know how I got so lucky to stumble across this show on YouTube and then discover the podcast. It’s hands-down the most unique, authentic, and well-researched content I’ve found on documentaries, shows, and celebrities. Passionate, intelligent, and truly one of a kind—number one in my book.

  • Stay on topic!

    I really wanted to like this podcast. I tried the Mickey Rourke episode and had to quit like 20 minutes in. When I am clicking on this episode it’s to hear about the actor. In just the first half hour, there were so many off topic rants. I think scripting these a bit would make them so much more interesting.

  • An Actor's Truth Inside Day to Day

    The episodes about movies here I've had a chance to check out are legitimately good. But the true crime episodes (Chris Watts & Diane Schuler) are FANTASTIC. I appreciate the feel & style of the tone. It's raw, it's real and I really do love the way Jeff Torowski's voice sounds. Nicely done.

  • Love the contrarian view from Jeff

    I have listened to a lot of podcasts and have to say that Jeff, and his approach to cases such as the Chris Watts case, are unique, thought provoking AND entertaining. He uncovers elephants in the room until there is a stampede.

    I am now working my way through his other episodes and have been thoroughly enjoying. Would recommend for a straight up and honest view on interesting topics.

    Thanks Jeff

Ep155 - Russell Sams Interview Pt.1
Q: How did he approach networking and making an impression with casting directors?
By being prepared, following up with thoughtful notes, building real relationships, and understanding that the actor's work must come first; the 'door' is opened by who knows you and how well you perform when seen.
Ep155 - Russell Sams Interview Pt.1
Q: What surprised him most about the audition process early in his career?
That a single, deeply personal monologue could be the key to getting into the door and that vulnerability in auditions can set up future opportunities, especially when a manager or casting director recognizes potential.
Ep161 - Laurence Fuller Interview
Q: What was the turning point that led you to move to Los Angeles?
The West End success and Hollywood attention after the Timeout review created momentum, and Fuller describes deciding to move to LA to pursue opportunities rather than staying in a traditional theatre path.
Ep161 - Laurence Fuller Interview
Q: How did Bristol Old Vic shape your career?
