About this episode
Aaron Moten discusses his journey from aspiring lawyer to Juilliard-trained actor and shares insights from his career.
I sit down to chat with actor Aaron Moten from "Disjointed" and Prime Video's "Fallout" to discuss his career and personal stories. We catch up with Aaron as he settles into life in Los Angeles after spending five years in Iceland with his family. We chat about his Texas roots growing up in Austin, his pivot from an aspiring lawyer to a Juilliard-trained actor, and the realities of translating stage acting to working on camera. He also shares some behind-the-scenes moments from his recent work. From having Kathy Bates advocate for him early in his television career to a hilarious "baptism by fire" stunt sequence on his very first day shooting Fallout, Aaron brings a ton of heart and insight to the table.
