![New episode out today with TWO guests: Randall Duk Kim and his lifelong professional partner and wife, Annie Occhiogrosso—one of the great teams of the American theatre! [LINK IN BIO 👀]
Do you have some really audacious goals, or maybe even a few crazy ideas? Guess what, you’re not alone! And in fact, the world needs you to go after those and to not give up!
That’s exactly where our guests were: despite working regularly and finding success, they didn’t see the kind of projects they wanted to do, so they created a place where it could happen, and through years of dedicated and hard work, it became hugely successful.
But it wasn’t all roses: they ultimately walked away from it, and created a whole new chapter of their careers. We cover the highs and lows, and lots more of this journey!
They have worked together their entire professional lives and are dedicated to the classics, and in particular, to the works of William Shakespeare.
Randall has worked 50+ years as an actor, playing dozens of lead roles at major theatres across the country, not to mention several notable film roles in The Matrix, Kung Fu Panda, and John Wick! Annie has worked as an actress, director, dramaturg, and teacher.
