My guest is actress Annet Mahendru who is known for her critically-acclaimed role in the series "The Americans". Her portrayal of Nina earned her a Critic's Choice Nomination for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series. Annet then headlined The Walking Dead: World Beyond limited series. She can recently be seen in the Mark Wahlberg-Mel Gibson feature Father Stu.  She also stars in the coming-of-age film Manifest West, a film near and dear to her heart that she worked on with her husband, filmmaker Louie Gibson.   With Mahendru delivering an emotional whirlwind performance in a film that addresses timely mental health issues,  Manifest West is a family project in another way with her co-starring role opposite brother-in-law Milo Gibson and her as co-writer/co-director. Manifest West had its world premiere at the Mammoth Film Festival, winning Best Genre Film. Born to an Afghan- Indian father and Russian mother, Annet spent her early years learning 6 languages in the Middle East & Europe.  She planted the seeds of her career at eleven, choreographing a performance that earned her an appearance on German television, and returning to her roots studying Indian classical dance. Annet is an avid breastfeeding-on-demand supporter and home birther.  She lives with her husband, writer/director Louie Gibson, and their three children. At the time of the recording of this podcast she was thinking about baby number three. They welcomed another child since June.
