This week, Chloë Kerwin reflects on church basements, circuses, ghost-hunting, and oh yeah... acting! Chloë grew up dreaming of Broadway, later finding herself drawn to films like True Grit and Moonrise Kingdom. After high school, she brought that curiosity to Emerson, where she collaborated with filmmakers like her cousin (previous podcast guest) Wylie Anderson, and began building the kind of reel that would eventually open doors.
We get into the realities of auditioning (including Little Women with Greta Gerwig), navigating relationships with reps, and her intentional pivot toward comedy—a space she’s found both more challenging and more creatively rewarding. Chloë shares how she’s shaped her artistic voice through on-set experience on shows like MARVELOUS MRS. MAISEL, creative outlets that sustain her passion, and why patience and stability remain central to building a fulfilling career in the industry.
