Masters Of Play 020 - Paulie Rojas

Paulie Rojas is a Mexico City–born, SAG-AFTRA / AEA / British Equity actress who has spent years living inside one of the most imitated faces of the 20th century: Audrey Hepburn. She played Audrey in Before Breakfast, voiced her for Gustavo Dudamel, the L.A. Phil, and Stevie Wonder on Moon River / Audrey’s Letter (Telly Award, Best Music Video), and keeps circling that lineage on stage and screen — from The Other Mozart Off-Broadway to The Blacklist, Community, and new Gilded Age work in New York. In this episode of Masters of Play, Laris Macario sits with Paulie on craft, multilingual work, classical training, the Hepburn problem (homage vs. impersonation), and what it actually takes to stay an actor when the industry keeps moving the floor. We talk: • Growing up in Mexico City as the granddaughter of Golden Age star Roberto Cañedo • Ballet, languages, and why technique still matters when the camera is rolling • Playing Audrey without turning her into a costume • Moon River / Audrey’s Letter, Telly win, and working next to Dudamel and the L.A. Phil • Off-Broadway, TV co-stars vs. series-regular pilots, and how to read a résumé honestly • NYC stage life, representation on two continents, and staying a classicist in a content economy If you act, teach, or produce — this one is about the work, not the brand. — Guest: Paulie Rojas Instagram:   / paulie_golightly   Linktree (all links): https://linktr.ee/paulierojas YouTube:    / @paulie_golightly   IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1964199/ Actors Access: https://resumes.actorsaccess.com/paul...
