## Resource

‘Somebody Somewhere’ Emmy winner Jeff Hiller joined the show. Over baked eggs and an omelet, Jeff tells me about portraying a rare depiction of a gay man of faith in ‘Somebody Somewhere’ and what it was like to audition for ‘Pluribus.’ Plus, we get into the roles that paid the bills for many years, including repeat roles as the bitchy waiter – and Jeff will be the first to tell you, it isn't as easy as it sounds. This episode was recorded at Betty on the Lower East Side, NYC. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
