Jeff Hiller is a talented improvisor and actor who plays Joel on Brian's current favorite show, the sweet and funny HBOMax series, "Somebody Somewhere." On the show, Jeff has a combover, which was originally Jeff's character choice but then became an on-camera necessity after Joel came down with morphea, which can cause hair loss. Jeff chats with Brian about the work and self esteem challenges of dealing with the immune disorder, his transition from social work to the stage, the years leading up to finally getting on TV series, and of course, there's a fair amount of actor talk. (Actors, right?!) Jeff also shares about one role that went to someone shorter, but no less deserving. __ Show Information Twitter: @baldtalkpodcast Instagram: @baldtalkpod Email: baldtalkpod@gmail.com Brian Huskey Twitter: @thebrianhuskey Instagram: @thebrianhuskey Charlie Sanders Instagram: @charliesanders

Brilliantly funny actor/writer (Big Mouth, Brooklyn 99) Gil Ozeri recently played a young Larry David on Curb Your Enthusiasm, and ironically wore a wig to do so. And though in real life, he might not be bald, but he joins Charlie and Brian for possibly the most Bald Talk yet, because things get real deep, real fast. The three open up about their anxieties, some past traumas that inform their present day actions and how they are suriving this never ending pandemic.
