Carly Chaikin & Thandie Newton

This week’s (extra fabulous) episode features actors from two of the grittiest and most riveting series on the small screen. Thandie Newton is an award-winning actor and activist, always on the lookout for on-camera roles that enable her to merge those two identities. Little did she know HBO’s cowboys-and-robots drama “Westworld” would provide such an opportunity. Carly Chaikin of USA’s award-winning “Mr. Robot” also joins us for a candid discussion of the nuances of casting, auditioning, and navigating the TV industry. Brought to you by HBO.
