My guest Brian Abraham is an accomplished actor who has worked across Southern CA in film, TV, and Theatre, and is about to take on his third role on Broadway!

Brian is an incredible acting teacher who is passionate about the process of breaking down a script and rehearsing moments to perfection. But he really shines as an actor embodying the work.

I’ve been lucky enough to act with Brian in a silly short where we were both dogs, and now get to go visit him as he kills it on Broadway.

Brian originated the iconic roles of Hagrid and the Sorting hat in Broadway’s “Harry Potter and the The Cursed Child”. He also originated the role of the evil cook in “Life of Pi” where he is also the voice of Richar Parker and has to pupeteer a life size tiger in a fight scene in a boat!

Next up, Brian is joining the cast of a modern adaptation of Oedipus on Broadway.
