Our special guest on ep. 266, from the hit Netflix series, "Eric" is actress, Erika Soto, making her first appearance on the podcast. We talk all about how she got started in the industry including how a teacher's suggestion to join a speech and drama club led to her acting career, the importance of not losing sight of your passions outside of the industry and her advice to those trying to break into acting. She then shares some great BTS stories from her working in commercials days, highlighted by her "dancing Sprint" commercial and her McDonald's commercial with John Goodman. We then jump into her hit series "Eric", where she shares her audition process for the role of Tina, what it was like working with McKinley Belcher III and her thoughts on the characters' relationship. She also tells us a great story of the first time she met Benedict Cumberbatch on the set. We wrap things up with a great "Popcorn Questions" segment where she talks about her love for the film "Practical Magic" and how she'd love to have a role in the upcoming sequel!
