#206: Carla Gallo - Thriving as you are

Carla Gallo is an actor whose first major film role was in David
Russell’s feature SPANKING THE MONKEY. This breakout performance
gained Carla an Independent Spirit Award nomination for Best
Supporting Actress, and the film won the Audience Award in
Sundance. This caught the attention of filmmaker Judd Apatow who
cast her as the female lead in the cult favorite UNDECLARED.
Carla went on to work consistently with Apatow in such features
as, THE 4O YEAR OLD VIRGIN, KNOCKED UP, SUPER BAD, FORGETTING
SARAH MARSHALL, FUNNY PEOPLE and GET HIM TO THE GREEK.


Carla played dynamic roles in the iconic series, CARNIVALE,
CALIFORNICATION and MAD MEN. Her other television credits include
BURNING LOVE, 2 BROKE GIRLS, WORKAHOLICS, SNEAKY PETE, and
recurring roles on BONES and MAYANS M.C.


In both Universal’s NEIGHBORS and NEIGHBORS 2, Carla gives scene
stealing performances as Seth Rogen’s and Rose Byrne’s loveably
unglued friend. Carla has completed work on two Netflix features,
A FUTILE & STUPID GESTURE directed by David Wain, LITTLE EVIL
directed by Eli Craig. Her other feature credits include, I LOVE
YOU MAN, WE BOUGHT A ZOO, MOTHER AND CHILD, HAPPIEST SEASON and
FOUR GOOD DAYS.


Most recently, Carla will re-team with Seth Rogen and
Rose Byrne as a lead in the Apple TV+ comedy series PLATONIC
which is now out!


We chat about Career dry spells, sucking Steve Carell’s toe,
course correction, winning mentality, fear, feedback and
Bones.



The video footage of this entire chat is now out as well (one day
after release)! So check them out on YouTube under Michael
