This week on the EVR FWD podcast, hosts Mair Mulroney and Tyler Tackett take you on a heartfelt, hilarious, and unfiltered ride with special guest Michael Vaccaro—acclaimed actor, singer, and storyteller with one of the most jaw-dropping journeys in showbiz.
The episode kicks off with birthday vibes as Tyler surprises Mair with a trip to the epic Broadway hit Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, sparking a magical convo about stagecraft and storytelling.
Then things get deeply real. When Michael enters the chat, the energy shifts—in the best way. From growing up in the 70s as a rebellious “bad kid” sneaking cigarettes to joining SAG at just 8 years old, Michael reflects on an incredible trajectory through the entertainment industry.
