On this episode, actor Justin Kucsulain. I met Justin on the set of Chicago PD, a role which he had booked from a self-taped audition (and which airs tomorrow night, january 20th on NBC). I later find out that he had booked multiple other roles in this same way, including a role on The Walking Dead and a recurring role my favorite Netflix show, Bloodline. I was fascinated and told him I needed to have him on my podcast.
