This week on BEFORE THE BREAK, the boys sit down with actor, Ben Rappaport. Ben has had series regular roles on Outsourced and For The People. He’s also had recurring roles on The Good Wife, Mr. Robot, Younger, Law & Order SVU, and  Inventing Anna. He can currently be seen on Broadway opposite Sean Hayes in the TONY Nominated play Good Night, Oscar. We discuss moving a lot as a child, getting the acting bug from a production of Romeo & Juliet, the theatre teacher who changed his life, moving to NYC to attend Juilliard, making a fan of casting at ABC while in school, getting a hard dose of reality after Juilliard, booking the lead of a TV series after a dry spell, getting cast in a handful of pilots that never got picked up, and adjusting to self-tapes. That and much more!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
