A light European breeze runs through this episode, as American-Irish actor Aidan Farren joins me 🎙️🇪🇺

We talk about his experiences shooting verticals in China 🇨🇳, his ambition to break into European vertical productions, and what it’s really like to watch his own work on screen 🎬

Of course, we dive into the classic tropes—“Proposals” 💍 and “Towel Drops” 😏—and explore what no vertical story can go without. Together, we even imagine the ultimate Vertical Bingo Card 🎯

Aidan also shares how working on verticals has helped him grow—not only as an actor, but as a person 🌱 What he’s learned along the way and how it has shaped him makes for a truly insightful conversation.

When it comes to his dreams, he’s drawn to roles like a special agent à la James Bond 🕶️ or a firefighter 🚒—characters with the “license” to help others. At the same time, he’s eager to explore a wide range of acting opportunities beyond verticals 🎭

Like many of us, he’s ready for more comedy and romcom in verticals 💕😂—and hopes to see less violence against female leads, as he openly shares his discomfort with those roles.

And since Aidan is a big pizza lover 🍕, we couldn’t skip the ultimate debate: pineapple on pizza—yes or no? 🍍 Plus, we talk about School of Rock and even end up discussing closed car windows 🚗💨

All that and so much more—honest, fun, and entertaining moments—await you in this episode. Enjoy listening! 🎧✨
