On this week’s episode, the one and only Lou Taylor Pucci (You, Evil Dead) deconstructs his time spent working as a child actor and how it led him on a full circle path back to having fun. Coogan listeners will learn all about Lou’s upbringing, his road to becoming an indie darling, and most importantly, how to not act.
Lou tells us about his start on Broadway, and about his family background, which influenced a lot of his decision making around money.
He talks about finding the love of acting through an ultimatum, his introduction into community theater and growing up around non-actor kids.
Lou also shares about the inspiring impact of his father on his life, and the many challenges he faced before finally booking a Sundance-winning indie film.
He goes into what it’s like changing agents, riding the wave of independent films, and the fear of not knowing how to act.
Lastly, Lou tells the listeners about his perspective on meeting film legends, what he would say if his kids wanted to be actors, and what he spent his Coogan account money on.
