Reading their lies and, after a while, watching them fall from grace in the best spot in the house. And it's much more fun.🤣🤣🤣

The SOFT vulnerability has a specific sound. love ❤️🫶🏼

"I uh, did not use ChatGPT. Probably would have given you something better than you're about to hear.The auditions you don't get are the ones that redirect you to somewhere else.In 2005, I got cast in a little pilot show called Supernatural. We did get picked up and we went on to shoot 15 seasons, 327 episodes — the longest-running genre show in American television history.I learned to direct on that show. And I'll tell you this: the first time I stepped behind the camera, I was terrified. I knew the script, I knew the characters, and I'd been on set for years… but I still felt like a fraud.I still felt like someone was gonna tap me on the shoulder and say: ‘You don't actually know what you're doing, do you?’I've learned what that feeling is. It's called being on the edge of your competence… and it is exactly where growth lives.When I went after a big part on a massive show called The Boys, and I want to be honest with you about how that actually happened: I didn't get a phone call. I didn't get an offer. I auditioned multiple times. They considered other people. They wanted somebody older, somebody different, somebody with a longer résumé.There were real moments when I thought: ‘This isn't gonna happen.’ But I didn't walk away. I gave it my best. I gave it everything I had. I had to earn it. And I kept believing that I had a real shot if I was willing to persist.And you know what? I got it.Fifteen years… that's longer than kindergarten through 12th grade.Imagine sitting next to the same person that entire time. We played brothers on screen… and we became brothers off screen. There was definitely a partnership.There were many days when we relied on one another to make it through. Filming can be hard. It's not just red carpets and sunglasses. It's harsh weather, long days, even longer nights, short turnarounds, broken bones from stunts, being far from home, missing your family, missing your friends, Covid…It was not easy. Safe to say we went through a lot together. But having that partner — someone to rely on, someone who would rely on you — is sometimes the only thing that got us through.When someone needs you like that, showing up for that person matters more than anything else. You cannot manufacture that. You build it slowly through consistency, through showing up even when you don't feel like it… because that is what partners do for each other.Find those people. Be those people. And guard those relationships. Show up for them… and let them show up for you."

Life breaks us all. Only a few come out stronger.
