Gather round, folks, as we share hearty laughs and candid insights with the tremendously talented Stephanie Hodge. We weave through her fascinating journey, she shares an incredible story about how friendship bloomed between her and Brian Plaideau on Facebook. This leads to a compelling discussion about how she navigated her way in the film industry. With a twist of humor, she shares the moment she had to cold-read a script that marked her arrival in the industry. All while grappling comments on her appearance from agents, which she amusingly turned into stepping stones to prove herself.
Amid hearty laughter, we delve into the influence of her small-town upbringing. It's a poignant journey of how humor turned into her shield, her foray into prop comedy, and the priceless role her parents had in shaping her humor. But it's not all sunshine and roses, Stephanie recounts the arduous journey an unlikely allergy to cocaine discovered in the '80s - all with a chuckle, of course.
We dive into the hustle-bustle of acting auditions, the advent of self-taping, and the crucial role of Actors Access during the pandemic. We share our personal family tales, and Stephanie adds a dash of humor to her family's first encounter with Judaism. This episode is the perfect blend of hearty laughs, personal anecdotes, and invaluable insights into the enigmatic world of the film industry.
