ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Jesse and Candace Malinowski break down their week of NDA auditions, including why Jesse turned one down, their friend booking a recurring guest star from just two lines, and Candace submitting herself for featured background on a major project. Plus, the AI headshot debate: when is it okay to use AI on your headshots, and when does it cross the line? Jesse and Candace share what's working, what's not, and the one thing that beats out more competition than your acting ability. New episodes of That Actor Couple.
