BYOL Episode 31 - Mike Smith Rivera

EASTBOUND AND CLOWN 

Dave's guest this week is Mike Smith Rivera, aka Mr. Clown, a super-talented actor and producer, and a world-traveled practitioner of the clown arts. 

A native of Brooklyn, Mike trained in improv at the Upright Citizens Brigade theater in New York, which is how he and Dave originally met.  Mike talks about growing up as a NYC native, finding performing opportunities at a science-based school, studying drama at Syracuse University, his discovery of clown, his training with the Dell'Arte International School of Physical Theatre, how his Mexican heritage influences his career in unexpected ways, and how he's using all of his influences to mold his acting career. 

Plus, Dave talks about his upcoming co-star appearance on NBC's Allegiance, his recent industrial gig, and his first-ever estate auction!
