In this episode, Alyshia meets with Aya Cash, the unapologetically bold actor and producer currently lighting up HBO Sunday nights in The Franchise.

Aya’s journey is packed with industry-defining roles: from her hilarious breakout in FX’s You’re the Worst, which earned her TCA and Critics Choice nominations, to powerful turns in Fosse/Verdon with Sam Rockwell and Michelle Williams, The Girl From Plainville opposite Elle Fanning, and The First Lady with Michelle Pfeiffer.

Aya talks theater beginnings, not fitting into Hollywood's beauty standard, and seeing herself as an underdog in Hollywood. She shares invaluable advice for aspiring actors, including why she chose not to memorize her lines for her Newsroom audition with Aaron Sorkin—a bold move that turned into a career-defining moment. Tune in for an inside look at Aya’s path from romantic beginnings on the New York stage to unintentionally becoming "offer only."
