  • It’s ok

    It’s ok but jeez, lay off the race issue a bit. Yeah, it plays a role but princess is annoying about it. Replace her with someone else. She’s hard to listen to with her vocal fry.

Q: How did you think about all those layers, the soldier, the husband, the father, and the way each one forces him to confront the idea of strength?
It was a really, really fun assignment for me to get to delve into that because my father was, or is, my father still alive, and well, God bless, is Leroy in a sense.
Ep. 3: “Now You See It” with Jason Fuchs, Brad Caleb Kane, and Kimberly Guerrero
