This week, we’re catching up with our friend Jaylan Evans, who you may recognize as Skylar Summerhill on Netflix's My Life with the Walter Boys. It’s been a minute since we’ve seen him! He's been busy off filming, and this conversation feels like both a reunion and a deep dive into everything that’s changed.

Jaylan takes us behind the scenes of working on a Netflix series: what life on set is really like, how TV and film differ from our shared roots in theatre, and the adjustments that come with stepping into a whole new world as a performer.

We also rewind to the not-so-glamorous chapter—his life in NYC before booking. From working retail and living paycheck to paycheck to navigating constant audition rejection, Jaylan opens up about the persistence it took to keep going… all the way to landing a series regular role.

It’s an honest, inspiring, and full-circle conversation about friendship, growth, and what happens when everything you’ve been working toward finally meets you where you are.
