Summary
Actor Brandon Black sits with Lo to speak candidly about mental health and the highs and lows that shape who we are. From coming out as a gay man to his family to navigating life as an actor in Hollywood, Brandon shares the life lessons and tough takeaways he learned along the way. His groundbreaking career moments like being cast as the first out gay character in Tyler Perry's Madea Homecoming to his portrayal of Dean Vaughn in Monster: Jeffrey Dahmer on Netflix has proved to be one hell of a ride for the talented actor.
He opens up about his struggles with imposter syndrome and the importance of work life balance in an industry that will chew you up and spit you out. He shares his experience working alongside Evan Peters in Dahmer-Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story and gives a behind-the-scenes look into the controversial show.
Per usual, no topic is off limits for Lo and Brandon. From unique sex fetishes to the Kanye West meltdowns...this is one of those late night convos on the couch with a bestie that will make you laugh and learn something new *while enjoying a glass (or three) of wine.
