On Topic, Off Script host, journalist Brian Mastroianni, sits down with actress and director Katie Lowes.

She's known for her roles as Quinn Perkins in ‘Scandal’ and Rachel Williams in the 2022 Netflix hit 'Inventing Anna,' among many other projects on screen, TV, and streaming. Right now, she co-hosts ‘Scandal’ rewatch podcast Unpacking the Toolbox with her co-star from the show Guillermo Diaz

Outside of her career, Katie has been opening up about a health issue that affects about 7.5 million people in the United States alone — psoriasis. In 2010, her life was on a high, she booked a dream role on ‘Scandal’, got engaged to her now husband, and while a positive time in her life, it brought with it a lot of stress.

That stress triggered psoriasis flares that kept getting progressively worse. Recently, she’s partnered with AbbVie to spread the word about psoriasis and help others living with the disease to seek more information and feel empowered to receive the support they need and deserve. Head to Psoriasis.com for more information. In May, she was featured in the 'Clearly Me' psoriasis photography exhibit in at the High Line Nine gallery in New York’s Chelsea neighborhood, where portraits of Katie and other psoriasis advocates taken by award-winning photographer Lindsay Adler were proudly displayed. 

Katie joins Brian to share more about her journey for others living with psoriasis, update us on what’s new with her career, and offers words of wisdom for how we can all go after what we deserve.
