Zusammenfassung & Show Notes

After chatting away for more than two hours before hitting record, Elijah van Zanten @elijahvanzanten and I still managed to sit down for a solid hour of mostly serious talk about Verticals and their role in his life ๐ŸŽฌ๐Ÿ˜…

Elijah booked the lead role for his very first Vertical โ€” even though he admittedly had no real idea on set what he was actually doing at the time ๐Ÿ™ƒ. Apparently, he handled it pretty damn well, because otherwise he wouldnโ€™t have gone on to book so many more leads and roles since then โ€” and become a true fixture in the Vertical space โญ๏ธ.

Elijah now knows exactly what he loves about Verticals, which roles he enjoys most (and least), and we both immediately discover a shared villain connection ๐Ÿ˜ˆ๐Ÿค.

He also reveals why itโ€™s best to leave him alone for a bit after waking up in the morning โ˜•๏ธ๐Ÿ˜ด, and what he needs on set to really feel comfortable and in his zone ๐ŸŽญ

Where to find his karaoke-singing videos online remains a mystery ๐ŸŽค๐Ÿ‘€ (Iโ€™ll have to investigate), but he did promise to show up chic and sharp in a suit for the next episode ๐Ÿ•ด๏ธโœจ.

We also talk about how Elijah would prepare for a psychopath role, whether itโ€™s sometimes hard for him to be nice ๐Ÿ˜, what else the self-confessed cheeseburger junkie loves to eat ๐Ÿ”โค๏ธ โ€” and so much more.
This refreshingly honest and fun episode is one you definitely donโ€™t want to miss ๐ŸŽง๐Ÿ”ฅ
