TOM ELLIS: Saving Lucifer, Frustration with Lack of Support & Impostor Syndrome On Set

Tom Ellis (Lucifer, Miranda) joins us this week to give his uniquely ironic experience in this industry - going from growing up in a family of baptist ministers to playing the lead in the hit series Lucifer.

Tom talks about overcoming impostor syndrome while filming certain episodes and shares the crazy story of how a rogue tweet helped save the show from being cancelled.

We also talk about adopting an American dialect, his background in theater with James McAvoy, and his issue with actors using social media.
