From her early days in Philly to a practical pivot to criminal justice and sociology in Delaware, acting wasn't always on Courtney's radar. But thanks to her movie-loving dad and a growing passion for performance, she eventually found her way to an agent-and a Marvel audition that changed how she approached her career. In this episode, Courtney shares how she carved her own path in the industry, from booking a co-star on Insecure by ad-libbing her way into a fully realized character, to landing a direct offer from Quinta Brunson via DMs for Abbott Elementary. We dive into her scene-stealing comedy work on Shrinking, her bold shift into drama on Ballard, and how she embraces stillness, research, and intuition in her performances. These are the unforgettable stories that landed Courtney Taylor right here. Written by Maddie McCormick See less
