EP 205: Dale Boyer: Actor, Writer, & Comedian

TV shows and oh my god I'm starting to play like villains and this is super fun and I wasn't expecting that to kind of come out of this world of comedy um so it's interesting so many of my friends are like doing all these like great comedy shows and I'm like oh no I just arrested like Colby Smulders just like doing all this like really serious stuff um Oh, yeah.

I always have guns and lawyers and all kinds of serious stuff.

I love that idea of coming into your face.

I've never heard that before.

That is wonderful.

It's funny.

Through the last couple of weeks, I just turned 40, and this has plunked me into a new bin of actors.

And it's a very interesting thing because this industry is so visual and confusing.

And I kid you not, the last couple of weeks since I turned 40, every audition I've had is for a woman in her 50s.

It's a very interesting medium to be in, especially when aging in the industry is a really difficult thing, but I think can also be extremely powerful, especially...

I'm trying to like, where am I going here? I just love the idea of coming into your face.

Yeah, I also came into my gray.

I've been kind of embracing it right now.

Today, it's very gray.

Depends on kind of on where I part it.

But there's been a lot of discussion about my gray hair, too.

Right.

Because I'm not 50 yet.

And, you know, it probably makes me look older than I am.

But it's so it's so just in the front that it's like a shock when it's not when my hair is done properly.

It just looks like a shock of gray hair.

Right.

Which actually makes me look quite severe.

It's a big shock of gray hair.

And I've had so many people, so many people on set tell me, oh my God, we love this gray hair.
