This year Flula Borg can be seen starring opposite Dave Bautista as Bishop Crane in the highly anticipated “My Spy” sequel entitled “My Spy The Eternal City” slated to stream globally on Prime Video July 18, 2024. Also in film, Flula recently wrapped a lead role in the indie feature “Bonhoeffer,” written and directed by Todd Komarnicki (“Sully”). The film takes place in Berlin during the Third Reich, and examines German Lutheran pastor, theologian and anti-Nazi dissident Dietrich Bonhoeffer, as he speaks truth to power in his attempt to save countless Jewish lives. Flula is a standout as German jurist Hans von Dohnanyi, marking one of his most dramatic roles to date. “Bonhoeffer” is slated for release on November 28, 2024.

Flula landed his big break almost a decade ago, starring in Universal Pictures’ critically acclaimed, award winning feature film “Pitch Perfect 2” alongside Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson, Hailee Steinfeld, Adam Devine, and Ben Platt. Flula is also well known for his role in Warner Bros. and James Gunn’s “The Suicide Squad” where he starred as Javelin alongside Margot Robbie, Joel Kinnaman, and John Cena.

In television Flula most recently starred alongside Adam Devine, Sarah Hyland, and Jameela Jamil in Peacock’s comedy “Pitch Perfect: Bumper in Berlin” based on the acclaimed film franchise of the same name. Additional recent credits include “The Rookie” alongside Nathan Fillion, “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” and “Ghosts.” While appearing in live action projects has kept Flula busy, he has also lent his voice to a plethora of high-profile projects over the years including memorable roles in Fox Pictures’ “Ferdinand,” Disney’s “Ralph Breaks the Internet,” Universal Pictures “Trolls World Tour” and Apple’s “Luck,” as well as dozens of appearances in TV shows like “Archer,” “Rugrats,” “Captain Fall,” and as the uncomfortable Comfortable Doug in Netflix’s “Centaurworld.”

As a filmmaker Flula wrote, executive produced and starred in “Buddymoon” which quickly became a festival favorite. His producing credits also include the 2017 comedy special “Flulanthropy” which stars Ed Helms and follows Flula’s quest to become the greatest philanthropist of all time.

Amy Landecker on That One Audition with Alyshia Ochse

Today we have a really special conversation with an actress who has defied what we’re often told is possible in a Hollywood career. She started on stage with the Steppenwolf Theatre in Chicago, but didn’t make it to Los Angeles till she was nearly 40. She is an example of what can happen when an artist decides to be the exception, embrace fear, and relinquish over-thinking.

We also get to chat about failure, how it is a vital part of success as an actor, and how she’s been able to take professional and personal challenges, and turn them into opportunities to tell stories with some of Hollywood’s most innovative artists.

She’s developed an incredible body of work that includes working with the Cohen Brothers, booking 9 (count them!) 9 guest stars in one year, and most notably her role on Amazon’s Transparent.

Amy Landecker started her career as a theatre actor in Chicago IL, where she worked with the Steppenwolf and Goodman theaters. A transfer production from Chicago brought her to NYC and the Public Theatre. While in New York, she worked at the Barrow St Theater and Second Stage. She eventually made her way to Los Angeles, where she was tapped to play “Mrs. Samsky” in the Coen brothers’ Oscar-nominated A Serious Man (2009). After a long series of guest star and recurring roles in shows like Mad Men, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Louie, and The Paul Reiser Show, she landed her current starring role as “Sarah Pfefferman” in the Emmy and Golden Globe award-winning series, Transparent (2014). Amy has also written pilots for FX and Amazon and is a top VO talent in animation and commercials.
