Aaron Moten | From "Disjointed" to Prime Video’s "Fallout" | Keep Saying Yes

Show Notes

Marc Preston sits down with actor Aaron Moten from "Disjointed" and Prime Video's "Fallout" to discuss his career and personal stories.

We catch up with Aaron as he settles into life in Los Angeles after spending five years in Iceland with his family. We chat about his Texas roots growing up in Austin , his pivot from an aspiring lawyer to a Juilliard-trained actor , and the realities of translating stage acting to a multi-cam or single-cam set.

He also shares some incredible behind-the-scenes moments from his recent work. From having Kathy Bates advocate for him early in his television career to a hilarious "baptism by fire" stunt sequence on his very first day shooting his latest post-apocalyptic series, Aaron brings a ton of heart and insight to the table.
