Choosing projects and career tradeoffs

Paul Walter Hauser (@paulwhausergram) is an actor and professional wrestler. He sits down with Chris Van Vliet at West Coast Creative Studio in Hollywood, CA to discuss his roles in "Cobra Kai" and "I, Tonya", why he turned down the opportunity to be in a movie with John Cena, having wrestling as a side quest, not being discussed in the celebrity wrestling conversation, taking bumps through glass and onto thumbtacks, working with AEW and MLW, which spot hurt the most, his upcoming role as Chris Farley, potentially starring in a Mick Foley biopic, and more!
