from That One Audition with Alyshia Ochse · host Alyshia Ochse

Get ready for a deep dive into the "yeasty moments" of acting life with David Lyons, as he reveals how he transitioned from studying criminology in Australia to landing a career-defining role on the juggernaut series ER. From the intense pressure of leading The Cape to his "blank slate" philosophy for capturing the "dark matter" of a performance, Dave offers a raw, behind-the-scenes look at the persistence needed to survive as an artist. Alongside stories of meeting his wife, Carly Pope, on a pilot and navigating their shared journey as actors, he delivers a powerful reminder that it is absolutely never too late to tell your story. These are the unforgettable stories that landed David Lyons right here. Credits: The Beast in Me The Night Agent Truth Be Told Electric Dreams Eat, Pray, Love The Cape Safe Haven E.R.
