Episode 48: Intermediate Studies in Background Acting

What's it like to do background acting work on a beloved
television show? Well, Dawn and Melissa — two sisters — are here
to tell you! The two talk with Jenn and Chels about the work they
did on the first few seasons of Community, regale us with stories
and memories of the cast from set, and discuss why the chance to
do this work was a huge blessing.

Enjoy the conversation!
