RERELEASE: Lamorne Morris on Comedy, Craft, and Creating Your Own Lane

Lamorne Morris has always been one of the most thoughtful actors working today.Not long after his Emmy-winning performance in Fargo and his standout role in Saturday Night, he joined Rose Rosen for a candid conversation about building a career that lasts.

We're bringing this episode back because it's just as relevant now as it was then. Lamorne talks about navigating success after New Girl, why comedy is often underestimated, the reality of auditions, developing new projects, producing, podcasting, and the business decisions actors rarely hear about. With the benefit of hindsight—and an Emmy on his shelf—you can hear the mindset that helped get him there.

In this episode:

• Life after New Girl
• Winning opportunities long before winning awards
• What actors misunderstand about career longevity
• Comedy, drama, and breaking expectations
• Auditions, casting, and staying ready
• Producing, podcasting, and creating your own opportunities
• The business side of being a working actor
• Whether you already know Lamorne from New Girl, Fargo, Saturday Night, or his podcasts, this conversation offers an honest look at what it really takes to build a lasting career.
