What happens when an actor's dream takes an unexpected international turn? Brian Townes, who grew up just blocks from podcast co-host Brian Plaideau in New Orleans, shares the fascinating journey that led him from community theater in Louisiana to becoming a successful actor in Brazil's vibrant film industry.
Townes' career path defies conventional wisdom about "making it" as an actor. After studying theater and establishing himself in New York's acting scene (including a stint as a field producer at Saturday Night Live), love changed everything. Marriage to a Brazilian actress eventually prompted a family move to Brazil—intended as a temporary relocation that has lasted 14 years and counting.Support the show

Have you ever seen New Orleans draped in a snowy blanket? We have, and it's nothing short of magical. Picture Canal Street turned into a makeshift hockey rink and Jackson Square erupting in a giant snowball fight. The city's transformation was like stepping into a holiday postcard, filled with laughter and joy. We reminisced about the silence that follows a snowstorm, with the world hushed as if the city itself was holding its breath. Our kids built the most adorable snowmen, and yes, Winter Breeze joined the party, complete with a cowboy hat and Saints gloves, a nod to the legendary Drew Brees.
