Actor Taylor Handley booked his third audition at the age of 13. With nearly three decades of experience in the industry, you've seen him in hit projects including "The O.C.," "Southland," "Vegas," "APB," and most recently, "Griselda," and "Mayor of Kingstown." But Taylor explains that it was't until "Mayor" where he got the chance to play a character with a multiple season arc. In an unforgettable audition story, Taylor shares how he was almost passed over for the role until he decided to fight for it. Today, Taylor and Alyshia discuss the importance of managing your money as an artist, why actors shouldn't take getting cut personally, and what it means to have the X factor.
