No one explains what they do like Lupita or Danai. They have such a keen sense of what acting, and story telling is about.

[@jag5798]

I love this actress. I wish she would make a video of her workout fitness routine to be body ready for roles like on the Walking Dead.

[@angelacastro-jenkins2527]

Please allow this to be fully on youtube like before. These roundtables are amazing and not all of us have access to the sundace channel or wherever else you are making these available

[@olebramserud59]

Agreed, the full episodes are amazing and these roundtables with actors is great

[@erickjiwono9236]

[@BirdsEyeViewCaCaww]

Love Danaiiii, I would love to see her as host for a science centric show, her curiosity and enthusiasm seem to be endless.

[@jynx2501]

Lol, Danai is talking about how she can collab with the TWD writers, and Emilia looks like, she wishes they could have saved GOT.

[@agmor1]

Isn't she a Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright? The writers need all the help they can get.

[@TracyPerson1]

[@meghanmonroe]

I looked and looked for the whole version of this one. Nothing. Ugh!

[@Longhairedvato]

Meghan Helmich it’ll be uploaded in full after it airs. All of the round tables always are. These are basically like previews.

[@meghanmonroe]

@@Longhairedvato awesome thanks!

[@infinitecuriosity9210]

Guys I love the shows but it's much more interesting when it's the round table conversation not just the individual actors each having their own segment kind of maybe it's how your editing but the original convo was way better. It's lost the spark a true discussion it's just clicks, very boring.

[@JMCNYC79]

What a shame that TWD went so far downhill...

[@christophermotyka5384]

Ebony Goddess ❤😊
