We have the star of one of our favorite shows here this week, Theo Germaine. You Might Know Them From Work In Progress and The Politician. Theo is a non-binary actor from Chicago with a background in theatre, circus, and burlesque, who blew up from the Netflix series, The Politician. Theo gave us all the goods on working with Ryan Murphy, navigating Hollywood as a trans artist, and, of course, all the juice on our current favorite show, Showtime’s Work In Progress.
