Show Notes
Dennis visits the Los Feliz apartment of actor Brian Jordan Alvarez, the creative force behind the new web series "The Gay and Wondrous Life of Caleb Gallo." Brian talks about the origins of the show, how he got the money to make it, using iPhones to record sound, and the themes of sexual and gender fluidity that are explored in the show. Brian also talks about working on "Jane the Virgin" and the Logo sketch show "Gay Skit Happens," flying to New York to audition to "Saturday Night Live," and how to make a web video that goes viral. Other topics include: growing up in Tennessee, his obsession with science, getting sober, his favorite porn, vision boards, working as a go-go dancer and vogueing behind the eyes.
