    Today's guest, London Garcia is an actor who has done it all in Hollywood. Stand up and sketch comedy, singer, radio host, red carpet interviewer and now award-winning actress.

    Recently London made the decision to set everything else aside and focus primarily on acting and dive deeper into classes and training. Slowly but surely, things started to gain traction as London would book roles in a number of shows including 9-1-1: Lone Star, Barry, Government Cheese, SWAT, the character Emma Isaacs in The Pitt and as Ruth in NCIS Origins.

    Join London and I as we talk about her incredible journey of following her dreams and finding success just like she dreamed about as a child. It is a story of manifestation, hard work and continually stepping out of her comfort zone to be a working actor and landing the historic role as Ruth in NCIS Origins which won her a best supporting actress in a drama, Imagene Award.
