My Worst Audition, with guest Greg Burke My Worst Audition

Actor/director/producer Greg Burke briefly touches on his experience as the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup kid in those classic 1980s ads (4:15) before sharing his never-before-told story of quite possibly the rawest, cringiest audition story I have ever heard (5:25). He finishes up with some sincere most story catharsis (17:22), what "making it" as an actor would mean to him (24:15), what he'd be doing if he weren't in the entertainment biz (25:29), and Gary's idea for a Greg Burke TV series vehicle (26:34). Also, Mrs. Burke, please don't ever, ever listen to this episode.
