Nick and long time friend/ Renaissance man Jake Minton talk about their favorite modern actors. Well, kind of. Jake got confused about the subject and spouted some nonsense about it being an impossible task, but we rant on for a bit anyways. We also brush on Jake's new stage show, some good new TV and what it takes to be an actor. Stick around, it's bound to get interesting!
