In this special episode, Jay revisits a conversation that feels even more relevant today, a candid, behind-the-scenes look at what it really means to build a career in Hollywood.

Jay sits down with Todd Sandler, a true working actor whose career spans theater, television, and film. From his early theater roots in Chicago to landing roles on iconic shows like Everybody Loves Raymond and Glee, Todd shares what life looks like beyond the spotlight.

This episode pulls back the curtain on:

• What auditions are really like
• How actors prepare (and handle rejection)
• How the industry has changed post-COVID and post-strike
• Why fame, success, and longevity look very different in today’s digital world

Todd also shares hilarious behind-the-scenes stories, including dodging popcorn kernels on set with Jim Belushi, and Jay and Todd bond over their shared love of golf, including a memorable round in Telluride.

Whether you’re an actor, a creative professional, or just curious about how Hollywood actually works, this is an honest, entertaining conversation you won’t want to miss.
