Episode 29 - Actor Sufe Bradshaw (Veep) / Actor Tonatiuh (Vida)

Things Are Going Great For Me with J. Claude Deering

Episode 29! J. Claude Deering (Twitter/Instagram) chats with actor Sufe Bradshaw. Sufe is best known for her series regular role on HBO’s multiple Emmy-winning political satire Veep as the hilarious and deadpan "Sue Wilson". She along with the rest of the Veep cast were also nominated for four Screen Actors Guild Awards for Outstanding Performance by an ensemble in a comedy series. Recently she wrapped the feature film Gasoline Alley, opposite Bruce Willis, and the D. B. Weiss film Metal Lords for Netflix. Some of her additional film credits include The Disappearance of Mrs. Wu, Star Trek, Murder Mystery, alongside Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler and Together Together, alongside Ed Helms and Patti Harrison. Her additional TV credits include: Lovecraft Country for HBO and The Guest Book for TBS.

Followed by a second interview with Tonatiuh. With almost a decade of experience on both stage and screen, Tonatiuh is known for stand out performances including his recent portrayal of “Antonio Sandoval” on the ABC drama Promised Land. A native Los Angeleno, Tonatiuh attended USC’s School of Dramatic Arts and School of Cinematic Arts. While in college, his passion for the stage connected him with theatre companies around LA, such as IAMA Theatre Company, and the ECHO Theatre Company - where he starred in Boni B. Alvarez’s play Fixed. In the final performance of Fixed, Tonatiuh met Mexican-American actress and showrunner Tanya Saracho, who was inspired by his performance and wrote him into her GLAAD Media Award-winning Starz series Vida. Tonatiuh’s three-season recurring guest star arc as the gender-bending "Marcos Zamora" landed him on the cover of the LA Times Calendar section. Most recently Tonatiuh was seen in the Peacock original Angelyne, starring Emmy Rossum and Martin Freeman, and next up he’ll be appearing the Netflix and Amblin thriller feature film Carry-On. Stick around for Tonatiuh's interview, you’re not gonna want to miss it.
