After a long hiatus, we return with an interview with veteran stage, TV, and film actor: Reed Birney!

Since his Broadway debut in 1976, Reed has graced many a stage and screen. He won a Tony award in 2016 for his portrayal of the dad, Erik Blake, in Stephan Karam's The Humans. You've seen him in one of his many roles on Broadway and off. Or perhaps in his more recent film work, including: The Menu and Mass.

In this episode, Rachel & Reed talk about:

• the three times Reed has tried to leave the business
• the challenges that came with his "big breaks" early on
• and advice he'd give to his younger self

If you're craving more conversations about theater, check out Rachel's conversations with the artists over at Manhattan Theatre Club; most recently with Rajiv Joseph.
