(New York, NY) December 7, 2021

their experience and life in New York City as journeymen actors,” says “The
Boys in the Band” actor Brian Hutchison of his recently launched noir drama podcast,
“I Still Think About You.”

“It’s rare that there are dramas written or produced about “being an actor” by a veteran actor, so when one comes along, fellow actors take notice,” he adds, explaining the peer appeal of the podcast, which features eleven actors, all of whom have appeared on and off Broadway throughout their careers.
I Still Think About You ” is a noir audio drama based on a harrowing true story centered around a past romantic relationship. It tells the story of Adam McClure, successful New York actor, who revisits a haunting incident from his past. When coincidence brings an old friend, Dylan, back into his life, Adam fears for his new relationship with Tom, his sanity, and his life. Unsettling and ominous, with twists and turns until the very end, “I Still Think About You” is part memoir, part psychological thriller, and part love letter to Broadway.
“It is indeed a love letter to an artistic life, to the City,” says Hutchison. “I’m constantly moved by good acting I see in New York, but more so by the people who love doing it, the people who move from across the country to a new life with a desire to fulfill this need to perform or design or create or become more of who they are, we are. I know, personally, how much it takes belief in yourself when
no one else does, paying your dues, the sacrifices along the way.”
When asked for advice to young actors with an eye on Broadway, Hutchison says, “
Keep creating, don’t let your twenties and thirties pass you by. Always be working on something, make films with friends, just keep creating and collaborating.
Most importantly, he says, “instead of waiting for the phone to ring get out and live life, find some hobbies, some passions, they don’t have to cost a lot of money, but the more time you are doing things you love that are outside the box of acting the better. Experience the world beyond doing plays because the most interesting actors are people with experiences and passion for other things in life.
The “I Still Think About You” is available now on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcast, Spotify, Stitcher.
3 were released on November 17, with episodes 4, 5, 6, and 7 to be released on the
Wednesday of each week through December
