135 - Connor Ratliff got fired by Tom Hanks

My guest this week is Connor Ratliff, actor, improv performer, and host of the podcast “Dead Eyes.”

Connor and I discuss how moving from being an amateur to a professional actor ruined it for him, how he rediscovered the joy of performance through improv, how he was fired by Tom Hanks because he had “dead eyes,” and how that turned out to be one of the best things that ever happened to him.
