Today we’re joined by Bryce Dallas Howard, the acclaimed actor and director known for blockbuster films like Jurassic World: Dominion, Argyle, and Deep Cover, as well as standout roles in series like Black Mirror. Bryce shares a range of hilarious and heartfelt stories — from hanging out with Colin Hanks on her father Ron Howard’s film sets as a kid, to lightly stalking her now-husband Seth Gabel in her early twenties.

Today’s guest is the wildly talented Karen Gillan, the actor you know from major franchises like Guardians of the Galaxy, Avengers: Endgame, and Jumanji, as well as her breakout role as Amy Pond on Doctor Who. Karen talks about her early days growing up in Inverness, Scotland, and how her relentless teenage ambition landed her an agent (spoiler alert: she cold-called every casting director and agent in Scotland until one of them agreed to represent her).

Karen’s new movie, The Life of Chuck, is in theatres everywhere now!
