    Season 7 Episode 2 Lori Livingston
    Jul 27 2025

    This week, we sit down with the incredibly versatile Lori Livingston. You may not recognize her face right away—thanks to layers of prosthetic makeup in blockbuster films like Captain Marvel and Bright—but her presence is unforgettable. Lori shares insights on the transformative power of method acting, the unique challenges of performing under heavy makeup, and what it was really like being yelled at on set by none other than Denzel Washington. It’s a candid, inspiring, and at times hilarious conversation you won’t want to miss.
