Rahul Kohli (iZombie, Midnight Mass) joins us this week to tell his inspiring story of how a lucky twist of fate, while he was on the brink of quitting acting because of a horrible audition, landed him his life changing role in iZombie.
Rahul explains, however. that the onset politics, stress of being on a bubble show, and shooting in Canada caused him to spiral into unhealthy abusive and unhealthy habits.
We also talk about his deep relationship personally and professionally with Mike Flanagan, the typecasting of South Asian actors, and his experience being diagnosed with bipolar.

This is the best interview Rahul has given since he was on Talking Stalkings.
Best interview since throwing adam kovic under the bus
@@geranball9678 What interview is that? How did I miss that?
The fucking posters the fucken Jason mask r probably all sideshow collectables they make fucken batman chairs n shit dude
Ah the chosen few Funhaus fans! It's always a pleasure to meet like minded peers.
Totally.
Rahul‘s Performance in Bly Manor Never fails to make me cry. It was so interesting to hear how down on himself he was during Midnight Mass, it was such a solid and nuanced character and he did such a wonderful job
YES!!! Owens love made me cry!
I screamed when I saw the guest! Freaking love Rahul's work. He should be a lead of a Netflix show. Needs to happen!
Oh god I can’t wait untill he gets a leading man role it’ll blow my socks off I’ve already burned through all of his earlier work.
Agreed!!!
I’ve loved Rahul ever since the pilot of iZombie and I’m so glad that he’s getting so many amazing roles. I cannot wait to see what else is to come for him. Please have him back soon, really enjoyed this one!
He was the reason I started watching izombie and the reason I stuck with it. Dude deserves to be the lead in a show because he's so unique and funny
He was amazing in iZombie, but I found it was Rose McIver's talent for playing different characters so well was as much a reason for me to keep watching.
@@spacelem true she was fantastic, and Blaine/Malcolm Goodwin were fun to watch as well. Honestly that show had a great concept. I think what ended up hurting it was the season long plot arcs that just got a bit too ridiculous.
@@kiko1935 agreed. I liked it until season 4.
This was lovely, I remember seeing him in iZombie and thinking, "Where has this guy been? He's great!", was my favorite character. Kinda made me think of a British Zachary Levi, just that friendly nerd energy. Always a plus when a person is a little nerdy or passionate about something 😄.
I love how open Rahul is about being emotional. That's a tough thing for a man to say sometimes. But because he's so open about that, I feel with him. When he said the affirmation from the izombie casting director, I got tears in my eyes because I could feel what he's feeling. He's awesome. I don't think he has anything to figure out or change about his emotionality. No one would tell a woman she should control emotions so they're compartmentalized. He's just very human. I think the way he is could be very inspirational to men who are told there's something wrong with them for being emotional.
I swear every interview I hear of Kohli's always gives me a new vantage point to appreciate. Model painting has always self-deprecatingly been that "weird nerdy shit," but thinking of it as a sort of meditation gives me a new way to articulate why I love the hobbies I do! (Loved the random Gundam shout-out too!)
Rahul is always so genuine and open, he has the vibe of sometime who would be a great friend. he's fast becoming one of my favourite people
This episode is amazing. Having been a fan of Rahul for years now it’s great to see him get a platform to share his experience and show to a wider audience how awesome he is. This is so dope to see!
Just got done watching. Such an inspirational guy. As a Teacher of the Visually Impaired, I am glad to know that this talented and famous man has not let his visual challenges stand in his way.. This was an incredible interview that I know a lot of people will be able to relate to on so many levels. Thank you Rosey.
This is one of the best episodes you’ve done. You and Rahul could do just about anything together and I’m there. You guys hit it off great.
Rahul's great. The subtlety in his performance in Midnight Mass is so good. Seems like a fun person to hang out with. His openness and honesty is really admirable. And he's funny!
I can't imagine izombie without him. Such an amazing actor. I've watched everything he's been in. ❤
This has been my favorite interview so far. I watched Midnight Mass over the weekend (after watching this and finding out Rahul was in it) and I loved it, he was brilliant in it 💙
Rahul and I agree about Jack from The Shining. That was my problem with the change from the book as well. Jack from the film hated and resented his family from the start…that was not book Jack. The movie Doctor Sleep was a great firmware update to it and that’s a great way to talk about it.
This was a fantastic interview, absolutely loved Rahul on Bly Manor and Midnight Mass. Thanks as always for this wonderful podcast!
Been following Rahul since izombie. Loving where his career is going ❤️
I was already a big fan but hearing about how Mike Flanagan treats his actors made me much much more in love with his work, imagine not knowing when will your next job come and then the director says to you "by the way, we're working together again soon" THAT MUST FEEL SO GOOD TO HEAR and such a nice thing to do for people.
The guests have really been knocking it out of the park lately. Josh and Rahul were both fantastic to listen to.
Such a great episode so far. I have enjoyed listening to this episode this morning. Inside of you Tuesday is the best day of the week. I am definitely learning a lot more about Rahul.
Rahul is one of the best actors, who should be noticed more by studios and casting directors. His acting choices are so rewarding and as a human being he is very real and honest. Can't wait to see more of him.
Yet another great ep. Love hearing that Mike F continues to be an amazing person (worked with him almost 20 years ago on a microbudget slasher)
Lucky you! That's awesome
Great episode as usual! Ryan , keep the 'stache! Rosey, had a great time at the NWA Comicon, your Q&A was fun and thanks again for signing my "Sorority Boys" DVD! Hope to catch you either in St. Louis or Metropolis!
Hearing y'all talk about Vancouver is kinda surreal even though I know iZombie and Smallville was filmed here. My heart also goes out to Rahul's struggle with our weather, living in a temperate rainforest can be a real struggle sometimes. Love this episode!
great, can't wait to see him in future projects
The best dude! Can’t wait to see the entire episode.
This week’s episode was delightful. Rahul definitely opens up and he has so many great stories. I learned so much about him. A part would be awesome. Loving the stache.
iZombie is such an underrated show! It’s so good. And such a unique take on zombies.
having only seen izombie with him before midnight mass was a true show of his skill even without the confidence.
Brilliant interview and episode! Glad to see Rahul getting more roles and success!
Wonderfully insightful episode. Loved Rahul in iZombie. Thanks to Ryan for asking the question about London and Vancouver weather (it was exactly what I was thinking, lol!)
Rahul is an incredible actor and i cant wait to see him in more stuff.
Oh I love this podcast! Watching on TH-cam Michael. You are part of my week! Gotta pick up some merch to support you in any way that I can! 💯
This might be my favorite interview you’ve done to date.
awesome episode. great energy between both of you.
Really enjoyed this interview. 😊 thank you
Great interview. It’s funny how life comes at ya. One minute ya down. Next ya up. Persistence. Passion. Taking care of yourself. So wise.
He is wise beyond his years. Hope to see him in more things! Art night sounds fun! I liked that conversation about using hobbies to reconnect and the honest discussion about therapy. Everything you said about Vancouver also applies to Seattle 😅. Beautiful but gray!! Been spreading the word about this podcast. Thank you 🙌✨
Always liked Rahul. He’s a very talented actor and a genuine person. Love his work. I like how he’s not afraid to show his “nerdy” side. Gundam and Star Wars etc.
Hope one day he gets a role in Star Wars. Maybe an older Ezra.
Great conversation.
Great episode today! Loved listening to Rahul!
another great episode!
Rahul should be the next Doctor on "Doctor Who' !!!
I'd definitely be up for that. He could be a great Doctor.
Or James Bond!
nice one for my one year membership ;-) and very blunt on himself and his reflections on his choices.
Was really hoping you’d get Rahul on at some point. Great episode man
Loved Rahul in iZomibie. Was stoked to see him in Bly and Midnight Mass.
Loved iZombie! Nice surprise to see Rahul on the podcast! So many great guests.
He was great on funhaus and I fucking loved him in midnight mass. I hope he keeps killing it!
Awesome job 👏
Choosing joy and practicing contentment... loved Izombie ... as usual ... Inside of You delivered an excellent episode.
Michael , i loved you on Smallville - you're the greatest Lex Luthor of all time. Recently started listening to your podcasts, and its one of the best out there. The interviews are phenomenal. They feel like genuine authentic conversations. Keep it up!
Brilliant actor, loved Midnight Mass. As a fellow 40K lover I'mlLoving his miniature painting journey!
Good show, haven't watched Midnight Mass yet but really enjoyed this. As someone who has done model building (even Gundam building, I do recommend it those kits are very cathartic) as therapy it was good to hear about it from someone random like this.
You should watch it. Its brilliant.
Wow...another great episode. I think I just had my Mark Hamill moment, that he remembers me from the Con in Arkansas and him remembering our meet like that is just awesome...For people that are on the fence on meeting Rosey, it's definitely worth the time and mileage...PS. Might want to bring a shield because he is deadly with his nerf gun!!!! 😋
Obsessed with Rahul. Love him.
My favorite part of Tuesday 💙 Michael Thanks again for the Cameo calls last week 🤘
Another wonderful actor. I watch couple of iZombie episodes and he is amazing in that show. When he did the live stream Netflix couple of years back with promoting new series and shows coming to the streaming platform it was so good.
this is a brilliant interview/podcast
Absolutely love this for a lot of reasons. The honesty is disarming. I'm guessing we're talking cyclothymia here. (Lots of stigma attached to all sorts of diagnoses and I know this is not *for* anyone specifically but it *could* help people to make a distinction between bipolar and cyclothymia)
I am glad Rahul is putting in the work for his mental health irrespective of the approaches to it. Love the way he described painting the miniatures, very relatable. Therapy comes in all forms and doesn't have to lead to medication always.
(Bingeing on Rahul's shows and content has helped me get out of my head lately. Came here for the thirst traps to distract myself now I'm invested in this man's wellbeing XD )
Also, I loved Sheriff Hassan. The character was written really well, too. The careful restraint and helplessness despite knowing his strength was palpable. And the way Rahul spoke about how he felt like he wasn't really doing much kind of sounds like how Hassan would have felt in Midnight Mass for the most part- being equipped to do a lot more but keeping it toned down to play his part. I'm probably reading too much into it but I definitely felt that way. I have a lot of feelings, yes.
Ooh, ok, I will come see you in Australia in June! If this is Oz Comic Con Melbourne it says guests are not announced yet... *fingers crossed*
Love this guy! So talented!
Love the guest. Watched Izombie series twice. It's about the talent. A really good cast
Love this episode
Watched this afternoon and will listen tonight ❤
I love iZombie! I actually rewatched it like a month ago!
Good episode, I'll definitely look into his work. Tried to get into izombie when it premiered, the story was just ehh. But always love your closing comments. As someone that started his own mental health podcast, I'm constantly getting into my own head and telling myself it's stupid and won't get you anything, but still pushing forward. Take care.
Highly suggest his work with Flanagan. The haunting of Bly Manor and Midnight Mass are phenomenal.
The izombie audition story is incredible!
I loved his performances in midnight mass and bly manor
What a great interview - I follow Rahul on Twitter and he's great. As a non-entertainment person, its hard to understand what actors go through when we see these incredible performances like Midnight Mass. Plus - damn he's hot.
How did not know of this I love Rahul
I love what I've seen of Rahul's work, and I'm so glad he's been noticed!
I'm surprised that Rahul is an emotionally volatile personality, because his characters I've only seen iZombie and Bly Manor) are so steady.
Beware of a bipolar diagnosis! It has been a fad diagnosis for decades now. As someone who feels everything very acutely, I was diagnosed as "atypical bipolar" in my mid-20s, because I described my happy days as euphoric and my bad days as full of despair. I then went through several years of meds that I did not need, and that made me ill. (What I had was a food allergy; among my reactions are looooong crying jags)
If you're "cycling" within a single day, or if the medical professional says that your manic stage might be presenting as high anxiety, be very wary.
I know truly bipolar people. They can't hold down jobs or keep relationships. They forget where they've been for weeks at a time. They're getting arrested for reckless behavior, wrecking their cars, getting up at 3am to renovate the house... then they sleep all the time and don't eat for a few months.
Living in a rainy climate for years on end without a permanent home, and being uncertain from year to year that you will have a job -- that all sounds like a recipe for being depressed and for acting out.
Btw people with Attention Deficit disorders can have mood cycles that look like mild bipolar.
Fantastic conversation. Rahul is the best
Let this man play Ezra Bridger! He’d be absolutely amazing
Reading the comments have renewed my love for Rahul Kohli. Coz, it's true. He is amazing and a great actor. I'm so happy more people feel the same way. It disheartening that he isn't in a lead role. Like Mike get on that or some director, he is really the greatest and I have loved him since I Zombie and he was so much fun to watch just him being around. I stopped since the military arc was coming. Other than that i'm so happy reading all the comments appreciating him. He is truly amazing. I'm so happy other people feel the same.
this is one of the best interviews on the channel - it like hit the ground running - i've never seen this guy or seen any of his shows........but he's a good story teller.
his mark hamill/harrison ford comparison rang so true. feels like white folks get to be individuals but non whites get lumped together ..........and that feels like its robbing someone's humanity and individuality. it's super dismissive and cruel.
I so want him to play Ezra Bridger! (Star Wars Rebels)
I adore this man. Thank you for interviewing him! Note: I adore you too, Michael.
Great interview as always!
Actors have long expressed difficulty shooting in Vancouver because it's so dreary and cold. The earliest example I remember reading was Richard D Anderson when they moved production of Macguyver back to the US.
One thing I haven't heard is why shows don't shoot during the summer. Vancouver weather usually gets better shortly after TV shows stop shooting for the season. Why not shift production to the warmer months. This would have been more convincing for a lot of shows such as Lucifer which is supposed to have been taking place in LA, but for some bizarre reason shoots in winter Vancouver. At least iZombie chose the story to take place in Seattle so the Vancouver weather wouldn't be out of place.
Yay! I think I’m going to enjoy this episode! I can’t wait to be Inside of Rahul Kohli 😆 I love when he says that. Makes me laugh every time 😂
I enjoyed this interview, once again where did the time go? 😮😊
that was awesome
Glad I'm not the only one that thought the ending of iZombie was rushed. Like it didn't ruin the show for me obviously because I loved it and I get what they were going for but to kinda just go "it all ended up basically fine in the end, this happened then this happened" and then it was over. Kinda reminded me of what WB did to Suicide Squad when they recut/edited it and suddenly whole chunks were cut out and there was just voiceovers going "anyways they fell in love" and it's like "we've got so long to tell this story and you skipped over that bit?"
He will always be Ravi in my eyes!
I just love him so much.
Fully in love as soon as he said, “Gundams”
Such a good episode. 🥰💜 I love listening to Rahul talk about anything, tbh. He’s an incredibly talented actor, a hilarious, genuine and loyal dude. Always willing to listen and learn. Loved him on iZombie, Bly Manor and Midnight Mass. I’m currently on my second rewatch of iZombie. Looking forward to his new roles. 💜
rahul!!!
Another very rewarding experience that makes us want to surpass ourselves ❤❤❤💙💙👍
Love that he’s always representing Liverpool Football Club! 👏🔴👍
Hey Michael, I love your show [Inside of You]. Thank you so much for doing something like this not only us Smallville Fans just what you bring to the table. So far Kristin, Tom & Alan's are my favorites. I'm Season 5 of Smallville, I never got to watch the show when is was on cable TV. I was Serving in the U.S. Navy Active duty Deployed oversea most of my 14 years. [Lex] is of course my favorite character on the show. He's a lot like me when I was growing up trying to get my own father's approval to become the man I am today, even though he was never around. Thanks so much for taking the time to read my Post. Have a wonderful day and remember watch out for Zombies Don't become a Human Happy Meal. Cheers Michael.
Rosenbaum is the definition of Talented...Amazing Actor, Amazing Comedian, Amazing Podcast.
Very good indeed
I want this man as Reed Richards
The Vancouver depression is so relatable
Again stay on track man amazing the progress!!
Wow, I was not prepared for the facial hair. Intense.
I guess maybe because izombie was the first thing I ever saw him in, I always transposed the character of Ravi onto the actor. It was really cool hearing that he is nothing like that in real life.
I saw him on iZombie but never registered because I didn't care about the show. I saw this guy on Funhaus and then on Bly manor. I love this man.
Ravi was my favorite character on Izombie.
