That One Audition with Alyshia Ochse

Alyshia reflects on a recent podcast episode with Kirsten Vangsness, a veteran star of Criminal Minds. They chatted about the challenge of maintaining creativity and curiosity when portraying the same character for an extended period. While consistent work is a dream come true for actors, it can become a snooze-fest creatively at times. To keep their artistic spark alive, the Alyshia urges actors to venture beyond their regular work, whether it's learning new skills or creating quirky characters in their spare time. As a potential writer's strike looms over the industry, it is important to focus on nurturing creativity and to start flexing their imagination muscles now, rather than sitting idle and waiting for their next gig.

For 17 seasons, actor Kirsten Vangsness has been known and loved for her role as Penelope Garcia, the witty and fashionable technical analyst on CBS's hit series "Criminal Minds," now newly reimagined for Paramount+.  From hosting her own YouTube series podcast, to doing theater productions while simultaneously balancing her series regular role, it's easy to wonder when she manages to get any sleep. Rather than viewing it as work, however, Kirsten says she chooses to fill her life with the things she loves and emphasizes the importance of doing the inner work to recognize what those things are. In today's episode, we get honest about actor mental health, as Kirsten shares her story and reminds us that no matter what level we're at, we can all continue to learn from one another as actors.
