JESSICA BLAIR HERMAN steps into Euphoria with the quiet precision of someone who knows every silence can say something, bringing Heather into Cassie and Nate’s glittering world as the friend and neighbor who senses what is brewing beneath the beautiful surface. In this conversation, the actress traces the path from comedy rooms and dramatic training to motherhood, marriage, and self-trust, offering a warm, witty, and deeply human reminder that for her, success has become “synonymous with trusting myself.”
KEILYN DURELL JONES steps into Michael with the kind of quiet force that does not ask for the spotlight, but makes you understand why the person beside greatness can matter just as much as the icon himself. In this conversation, Jones opens up about loyalty, masculinity, stillness, protection, and the long road of an artist who keeps showing up because, as he puts it, “I’m a hard worker with an artist’s soul.”
POPPY LIU turns I LOVE BOOSTERS into something sharper than a heist film, finding the heartbeat inside Boots Riley’s wild collision of fashion, labor, theft, humor, and resistance.
In this A BOOK OF conversation, Liu opens up about migration, community, reproductive justice, and the quiet power of knowing who you are, reminding us that “when we are together, we are powerful and can be so beautiful.”
CHARLIE WEBER builds characters from the smallest details into something impossible to fake, and in The Highest Stakes, his turn as Billy Gray becomes a sharp, strange, and satisfying reminder that the best actors know how to disappear in plain sight. In this A BOOK OF conversation, Weber opens up about conviction, comedy, producing, fatherhood, and the long fight of the journey itself, revealing the philosophy behind his craft with one unforgettable truth: “you have to believe yourself first; otherwise, the audience won’t.”
KRYS MARSHALL brings the kind of intelligence, steel, and soul to Paradise that makes you lean in closer, and in this conversation, the actress behind Nicole Robinson opens up about the women who taught her to lead, the unseen work behind staying power, and why the characters she plays always seem to carry both grit and grace. As she reflects on truth, self-advocacy, motherhood, and the urgency of telling stories that actually mean something, Marshall leaves us with the kind of line that does not just tease the interview, it defines it: “What a missed opportunity to tell a story without trying to teach at the same time.”
DARREN BARNET brings wit, warmth, and a quietly wounded charm to Chicago Med, stepping into Dr. John Frost with the kind of presence that makes you look twice before realizing how much he is holding back.
In this conversation, he opens up about identity, rejection, representation, reinvention, and the question that still shapes his work: “Do you want to be an artist, or do you want to be famous?”
BENJAMIN LEVY AGUILAR brings a quiet intensity to Chicago P.D., turning Dante Torres into a man caught between survival, faith, loyalty, and the brave work of understanding himself.
In this conversation, he opens up about Guatemala, discipline, vulnerability, reinvention, and the inner compass that reminds him that “the only way to be strong is to be vulnerable.”
BRANDON LARRACUENTE steps into Chicago Fire with the kind of quiet force that makes Sal Vasquez feel less like a new character and more like a match struck inside Firehouse 51.
In this conversation, he opens up about discipline, vulnerability, public service, 94 Films, and the hard-won wisdom behind his belief that “everything leads you to where you need to be.”
WILSON BETHEL returns to DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN with the kind of danger that does more than haunt a room; it changes the air inside it. In this conversation, the actor opens up about the broken humanity of Bullseye, the creative freedom of his childhood in New Hampshire, and the restless artistic drive that keeps him chasing the next honest, unexpected spark.
ONE CHICAGO enters a thrilling new chapter in this collector’s print issue, spotlighting rising stars Darren Barnet, Brandon Larracuente, and Benjamin Levy Aguilar as they bring fresh fire, heart, and vulnerability to Chicago Med, Chicago Fire, and Chicago P.D. Through intimate conversations about service, identity, survival, and the quiet strength it takes to stay open, this issue honors a new generation of leading men redefining what courage looks like on screen and beyond.
