Hi everyone, my name is Chris and welcome to another episode of Once and Always a Fanboy.
My guest today is someone who has built an incredible career in front of the camera and behind the scenes, and now gets to show us a completely different side of herself as Bobby in Lioness. She’s an actress, a producer, and someone who has kept evolving while staying true to who she is. I’m going to try my best to keep my fanboying in check because I absolutely love her character and this show, but I make no promises.
Fangirls and fanboys, Jill Wagner!
