114 - Aaron Oberst - The Nicest "Bad Guy" in Verticals...

What if one of the most intimidating men in Verticals is actually
one of the kindest people you'll ever meet?


This episode with Aaron Oberst is living proof
that the dominant, arrogant, and often toxic characters he plays
couldn't be further from who he really is.





We have an honest and unfiltered conversation about what it's
like to be repeatedly cast in these types of roles - and the
mental and physical challenges that can come with portraying
them. Aaron also shares the kinds of characters he'd love to play
in the future, his thoughts on where the Vertical industry is
heading, and why some overused tropes - especially those built
around unnecessary violence and unrealistic storylines - have
long overstayed their welcome.





Despite those frustrations, we also talk about why Verticals
remain an incredible opportunity for actors to sharpen their
craft, grow creatively, and continue developing their skills.





If you've watched Verticals, chances are you've seen Aaron
playing a professor more than once. Ironically, he almost became
a real-life professor himself - just like I did. But which
subjects would he have taught? Trust me... you'll never guess!





And if you're still not convinced that Aaron is absolutely
nothing like the characters he plays—and is genuinely one of the
warmest, funniest, and most down-to-earth people you'll meet—then
you may just have to listen to this episode all over again. ️
