When was the moment you wanted to become an actor? Who were early inspirations growing up?
Buck Andrews: In a way,
Special is my coming out party as an actor. Iâve been writing for a while, and then I started acting in my own sketches and hosted a live show with one of my best friends in college. But I never thought that acting was something Iâd fully be doing. My main inspirations growing up were theatrical pop stars like Lady Gaga dressing up as Jo Calderone at the VMAs or Björk at the Royal Opera House. And then later in life, Lisa Kudrow.
