Hank Chen on ACTING SCHOOL BLOWS & THE FILM "BROS" - The Afterlaugh - Ep. 243

The Afterlaugh w/ Bill Dawes

Hank Chen (Laugh Factory, Home Again, Life-Size 2) comes by the yard to discuss the new Billy Eichner movie "Bros," but the result is an evisceration of acting schools and what faculty and staff are doing wrong to prepare actors for a career in show business. Comparing their experiences at NYU graduate school and The Actor's Studio, they discuss their disappointing experiences as well as the frustration in the acting world that led them to pursue a career in standup comedy. In particular, Bill discusses why he believes many acting schools like NYU are a scam. Finally, they get to the seminal movie "Bros" and why it's simultaneously great and groundbreaking and also a huge whiff at the film market. ENJOY!
