Comedian and actor Jeff Hiller shares his journey from growing up “profoundly gay” in 1980s Texas to his experience as an inept social worker and how he clawed, scraped, and brawled to Hollywood’s lower middle tier. The Somebody Somewhere star joins us to dive into the grit and grind of climbing the Hollywood ladder and the struggles, triumphs, and humiliations that shaped him into the wonderfully imperfect person he is today. For every one of us who has a dream that we’re chasing — and chasing, and chasing — his is a funny, moving, and utterly relatable story.
