  • Summary

  • In this throwback convo from Sept 2018, I sat down with the unstoppable Christina Ochoa (Animal Kingdom, A Million Little Things) for a seriously honest, occasionally hilarious, and refreshingly unfiltered look at what it actually takes to survive and thrive in this industry.


    • Moving to LA with zero connections (and zero chill about the rent)

    • Not working for 2.5 years after a major show… and how she survived it (Uber, eBay, and a underprepared tutoring gig)

    • Auditioning while broke AF… and still booking the role

    • The shift from “pretty but doesn’t know it” casting to owning your own vibe

    • Saying no to mediocre TV (even when you really need the check)

      • Body image, being naked on set, and why she threw the damn breakdowns in the trash
      • Her trick for manifestation that doesn’t involve “morning pages” but does involve drawing yourself with dollar signs and scripts
