Show Notes
This week, Steve and Diana chat with Emmy award-winning actor Annie Murphy! Annie admits how nervous she was on the first day of shooting Schitt’s Creek, how her mother boldly asked Fred Penner to be in her short film, and how tapping into her dark side was smashingly therapeutic on her new AMC series, ‘Kevin Can F*ck Himself.’
Annie introduces us to her best friend and incredibly talented Shakespearean actor, Antoine Yared. Antoine spills the tea on his long-term friendship with Annie and talks about what it was like to learn how to speak English at 16 and then be the first Lebanese actor to play Romeo at the Stratford Festival only a few years later.
