Today Patrick sits down with actor Drew Talbert to build the playlist of his life.
After college Drew Talbert moved from Nashville, Tennessee to LA to make it in the movies. Like so many other aspiring writers and actors he worked as a server to pay the bills while he pursued his dreams. He eventually joined the legendary Groundlings theater company and was a teacher there for years. But he wasn’t finding the kind of success he had hoped for when he moved.
That was until COVID hit and Drew found himself stuck at home, not able to perform anywhere. So he took his Groundlings training and his years of server experience and started making videos on TikTok about a fictional restaurant called Bistro Huddy. (He writes the sketches with his wife Andrea Kelley and he plays all the parts himself). Soon his videos blew up and Drew now has nearly 10 million followers on social media with every new Bistro Huddy episode getting millions of views.
Drew and I talk about growing up in Nashville while not liking country music, what music sounds like after you get sober, and the amazing road trip music draft he has with his friends.
