Today, we are sitting down with Sarah Yarkin, the breakout star of School Spirits and the lead of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre reboot. Sarah shares her journey from growing up in the Bay Area to navigating UCLA's acting program, where she felt she had to "fight the program" just to begin her professional career. In this episode, we explore the "staircase analogy" of acting, the grueling physical demands of filming horror in Bulgaria, and the liberating moment she realized that "fucking up" an audition can actually be the key to booking the role. Sarah offers a raw, hilarious, and deeply insightful look at trusting your path, letting go of perfectionism, and finally learning to stop delaying your happiness for the next job.
These are the unforgettable stories that landed Sarah Yarkin right here.
