61. Amy Landecker - From Actor to Director

In this episode, host Rose Rosen sits down with Amy Landecker to break down how she booked Transparent, why saying “no” can shift power in the audition room, and what actors consistently misunderstand about casting.

Amy built her career the long way — theater, guest stars, recurring roles, breakout moments, and years inside audition rooms. Now, after writing, directing, producing, and starring in her feature debut For Worse, she shares the evolution that changed everything.
