Anastasia Baranova is a Russian American actor (Z Nation, Sons of Anarchy, Veronica Mars, Scouts Safari). Anastasia sits down with Julian to discuss what it was like getting started in acting as a pre-teen. The challenges of falling in love with this profession so hard that it made it impossible to be happy without. Julian walks her through the impactful experience of meeting her on the set of Z Nation and how she helped him rebuild his confidence after the show was over, by reminding him that, "it's ok to want to be a star. Especially if you actually are one." She talks about how she came to develop that state of mind for herself, all the negative self-talk that has tried to get in the way of it since. And what it was like to say goodbye to playing the LEAD on the hit TV series, "Z Nation" for 6 seasons. What her expectations were coming off that show, and what the reality became were two very different things. But how she managed to pull herself through and find self-love in knowing that she still possesses every part of that STAR in herself, and how she's now working on the most challenging, yet rewarding role of her life so far--herself.
