Episode 1 | Season 2: Lawrence Davis Talks Jennifer Hudson and RESPECT
I'm thrilled to kick off Season 2 with a look into the work of the tremendously talented and incredibly humble Lawrence Davis. His latest project, RESPECT, is in theaters as we speak, so please go see it to truly enjoy Jennifer Hudson as Aretha Franklin and also to bask in the work of hair magician, Lawrence Davis. He also shares with me the incredible story of what brought his career to fruition and set him on the path of what would become the department head for shows like Claws, Watchmen, The Underground Railroad, Mare of Easttown, and the upcoming Mothership (Netflix).
Lawrence joined me literally in between takes while working on Mothership for Netflix, so please enjoy our chat and please forgive any audio challenges - I apologize in advance but I did steal time in the makeup trailer and we had a slight audio challenge so I recommend watching this episode on youtube if you can!
