Meg was already a fan of Jeff Hiller from his Emmy-winning (!) performance in Somebody Somewhere, but when she listened to his moving and hilarious memoir, Actress of a Certain Age, she fell completely in love with his honesty, humor, and heart. She knew she had to have him on the show, se we were thrilled (and deeply honored) when he said yes, fresh off his big Emmy win.

In this convo, Jeff opens up about the myth of the “big break,” finding your authentic voice, navigating rejection with grace, and why it’s never too late to live your dreams.
