[0:00] Linedy Genao: Hello, hello, everybody. This is Linedy Genao and welcome to Entre Acts, your favorite podcast, Ya Tu Sabes, where we talk to your favorite Broadway artists. And today I am so excited to announce today's guest. Listen, y'all, like, this is literally my brother, like mi hermano, de verdad. He was recently, you know, played a really small titular role of Jay Gatsby in The Great Gatsby. I don't know if you've ever heard of it. Also played Hans in Frozen, also Fiero in Wicked, really small musicals. Also originated in Heather's The Musical as JD. And also all the fans that come to our show, the second he goes on stage and just lifts his hand, the audience is going wild because they know him from the Disney Channel's Liv and Maddie as Diggy. Everybody, please welcome my friend, mi amigo, mi pana, Ryan McCartan. Thank you for being here.

[1:02] Ryan McCartan: So happy to be here. And I echo all the same sentiments. You know, you're my girl.

[1:08] Linedy Genao: Thank you. Oh my gosh, Ryan and I met on The Great Gatsby. You were Gatsby. I'm Myrtle. We don't have scenes together, unfortunately.

[1:17] Ryan McCartan: Not exactly. Yeah, theoretically, we do have one scene together when I run you over with my car.

[1:22] Linedy Genao: Spoiler alert. Moment of silence. Sorry, in case you haven't read the book. Well, yeah, we're the two people who die.

[1:29] Ryan McCartan: I know. That's my husband, George Wilson. Rest in peace.

[1:32] Linedy Genao: So a podcast from the beyond. Bueno, before we get started, I always like to start the show with a little icebreaker. Okay, and we're gonna do a little juego de domino. For those who don't know, I need you to understand. The first time I met Ryan, we were talking and then I started speaking in Spanish. And then he started responding in Spanish. And I say, Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, to our last Espanol. And then he started responding to me. So it's not only like regular Espanol, but Espanol, like a board equal seniority. Ryan McCartan is from Minnesota, and speaks Spanish like a board equal. How did that happen?

[2:13] Ryan McCartan: I can't wait to get into that. So I know you know about the game of domino and how important it is in the Latin culture, Latin Caribbean culture. So we're gonna play the entre axway. Basically, you're gonna grab a domino and sum up that number. And that's going to pertain to an icebreaker question. Are you ready?

[2:28] Linedy Genao: Okay, I'm doing it right now. Yes. Oh, gosh. This one's been calling to me because it's a little cattywampus. Okay, that's a 10.

[2:35] Ryan McCartan: Number 10. Here we go. Would you rather have more time or more money?

[2:41] Linedy Genao: More time?

[2:42] Ryan McCartan: That was quick. I didn't have time to process.

[2:44] Linedy Genao: Absolutely more time.

[2:45] Ryan McCartan: You're right. Me too. You ever some this I'm not coming up with this. I'm sure it was pushed to me on Instagram or something. But someone has like some quote about like, when you're 70, after you've accumulated all the wealth, you're going to accumulate your whole life, you would give all of it back to be whatever your age you are right now. Like time is so much more valuable than it is, I think.

[3:05] Ryan McCartan: That's that's true. Facts. Facts. Okay, next.

[3:08] Linedy Genao: Oh, I keep okay, we keep going. This is a four.

[3:13] Ryan McCartan: Number four. Ketchup or mustard? There's only one right answer.

[3:18] Linedy Genao: So please think about this carefully.

[3:19] Ryan McCartan: It's ketchup, I think.

[3:19] Linedy Genao: Thank you. Thank God, Ryan, because our friendship was on the line.

[3:22] Ryan McCartan: Oh, wow. I didn't know. I didn't know the tie that bound us together was so frail.

[3:29] Linedy Genao: I'm kidding. I can't wait to get french fries and ketchup soon.

[3:31] Ryan McCartan: Oh, now I want that. Thank you all so much for watching. We're gonna take we're gonna take off and go get some fries. I do. I like mustard. But here's the thing. I just want a little hint of that taste. Whereas ketchup like, give me all the same. I like honey mustard, mustard only if it's in like in a dressing like if it's mixed with something great, you won't catch me putting mustard on anything by mustard. Sorry, like Dijon mixed as a dressing cloud. Oh, classy. Okay, next.

[3:59] Ryan McCartan: That's just a three right there.

[4:00] Linedy Genao: Number three. Okay. Hmm. bold with your opinions or strategic with your silence.

[4:06] Ryan McCartan: Oh, I would love if I was the kind of girl who was strategic with their silence. But you know, I am never sat here with my mouth shut.

[4:14] Linedy Genao: I know. You have the best comebacks, though. It's actually insane.

[4:20] Ryan McCartan: Literally, he's always like, you gotta be on TV. You gotta be on TV. I'm telling you, every time Ryan says something, he'll say it with a straight face. And I'm like, dying laughing. And I'm like, you got to be on TV. But you can see him on TV and Liv and Maddie, Diggy, a bunch of other TV credits back when I was young, rocky horror. Okay, last one. Okay.

[4:41] Ryan McCartan: This is a six number six. pineapple on pizza. Yes or no?

[4:45] Linedy Genao: Absolutely. Oh, you didn't like that? No. Okay. I have to be honest. I've only had like three times. So I can't judge.

[4:51] Ryan McCartan: Look, bro. This is gross. Because like, there's I literally live in New York. And there's so much better pizza than this. No offense if they're a sponsor of this podcast, but dominoes. Not the not the pizza. They're they're crunchy, flat, crispy pizza, rather not like the big Oh, yeah, flat kind. Correct.

[5:11] Linedy Genao: pineapple and ham. I didn't know they do pineapple. Okay, I'm going to order dominoes, pineapple and thin crust right there. crispy pizza. Yes. Diablo. That sounds so good. And I have breakfast. I didn't either. skinny. Oh my god.

[5:28] Linedy Genao: Bueno. I like to structure this show. Comun sandwich eat. So we cheat the fun in the beginning, the like deep and you know, important stuff in the middle and then the end some fun to end the sandwich. Great. So on that note, what's what do you like between your bread? What's your best sandwich?

[5:49] Ryan McCartan: I mean, I like an ice cream sandwich. It's probably probably me cheating. Wow. No, that's so good. How did I never think about that? I also love like a Cuban sandwich like the media noche. I don't know if that's what they're actually called as a Cubans. Okay, I love those little pickle in there. Or you know, classic PB&J. I love a PB&J. Same. Have you ever had a pressed PB&J? What's that? Like you put it in a press? Oh, no, that will change your life. Try a pressed PB&J. We're like, we didn't eat breakfast. We're so skinny have been talking about food podcast, fries, pizza, panini PB&J. What are you gonna do? What are you gonna do? It's like going grocery shopping. When you're hungry, you buy everything literally and then you eat like me.

I eat everything when I get home. And then have you ever have you ever eaten at the grocery store? You open the bag and then you pay for it and you're like, yeah, just scanned. Listen, it's it's moral food. No crimes committed. Not at all.

[6:48] Linedy Genao: Okay, bueno. Like, you know, this show is called Entre Acts, right? Entre in Spanish is in between which you already know that. So I was inspired to do this show because I wanted to talk about those transitional periods we have as artists or as human beings. I specifically found myself in a transitional period after Bad Cinderella, right? Reaching kind of the apex of my own career, putting pressure on myself feeling that, you know, external pressure and what comes next for myself career wise personally. So I wanted to ask you what does the in between the messy middle one intermission when life yells intermission and forgets to tell you what's next? What does that mean to you?

[7:32] Ryan McCartan: Man? Um, I think, I think, generally, even if we're talking about any kind of person, regardless of whether or not they have a career in the arts, I think I believe that who we really are like who we really become is defined more by those moments than by the great successes. I had a mentor tell me one time that now I'm talking more specifically about being entertainment, although I'm sure this applies to other industries as well. But she told me being an artist is like waiting in a long line. But the secret is that the line never moves. So the only way you can move forward in line is if someone ahead of you gives up and goes home. And I think a lot of people give up and go home when life yells intermission.

And when the end when they're like, Okay, I can I can do an intermission for 15 minutes, but then that intermission ends up being two years. And it's like, I can't I won't die anymore. You know what I mean? I can't I can't, like, I can't handle this that can't I can't do this anymore. So now that I'm a little bit older, I mean, I tell this to like fans and stuff that I meet all the time. I've been acting since I was eight, and I'm about to turn 33. So 25 years as a professional actor, almost most of the people who follow me according to my Instagram analytics are like 22 or younger. So I've been doing this longer than most of the people who know who I am have been alive. And gosh, that those 25 years, of course, you know, you you've just read my bio, I have these great credits.

Okay, good for me. But like if you if you actually do the math of how much time that is, because you mentioned like the six big contracts, we actually do the math of how much time that is, that's three years out of the 25. And so you know, the other 22 years are marked by projects you've never heard of things that I thought would be successful that absolutely flopped, or moments where I wasn't working and was, you know, absolutely nickel and diming it to my next destination, just praying that I wouldn't run out of money or that I would be able to piece my life together with some kind of nine to five or what have you. At the time, it felt torturous and horrible. But now looking back on it, all of like the, the really good stuff that I'm deeply proud of that I'm made of that doesn't come from being Gatsby eight shows a week or originating JD or being on the Disney channel that comes from like, having endured and learned and continued to keep the faith even when it seemed like it would be impossible.

So I think those are the moments it feels like those are the moments that break you. But once you get through them, because you always do, those are the moments that that make you I truly believe that.

[10:23] Linedy Genao: My drop, that's facts, like absolutely real. And I definitely felt that for myself to like after the whole bad Cinderella of it all, specifically the negativity of it, how I didn't, I felt like I was drowning, I didn't know. And I was afraid I've never actually said this publicly. But I was afraid that all of that negativity, because again, there were the positive outweighed all of that. But of course, you focus on that. Oh yeah. You know, I thought that that would have followed me forever. And honestly, to this day, it was the three year anniversary recently of the press release the whole spray painting thing, people are still talking so much smack. And I'm like, yo, it's been three years. It was so much fun.

There are real life world problems, you know. But finally, when I overcame that, and when I realized that that's not attached to my worth and who I am, I felt free, I felt like that burden was released from me that I was holding on to, for whatever reason. So thank you for saying that.

[11:25] Ryan McCartan: Yeah, of course. I mean, it's so dumb, bro. I mean, you had scoreboard, you have Andrew Lloyd Webber.

[11:30] Linedy Genao: Welcome back to Entre Acts! I'm so excited to have my true hermano and Broadway castmate, Ryan McCartan, with me today.

[12:00] Ryan McCartan: Thanks for having me, Linedy! It's always a blast to hang out with you.

[12:30] Linedy Genao: So, let's kick things off with a classic game of dominoes. What do you think about ketchup versus mustard?

[12:40] Ryan McCartan: Oh, ketchup all the way! Mustard just doesn't have the same vibe.

[12:50] Linedy Genao: I have to disagree! Mustard has that tangy kick that ketchup just can't match.

[13:06] Ryan McCartan: Fair point, but I still stand by my ketchup choice. And what about flat, crispy pineapple pizza?

[13:22] Linedy Genao: Absolutely not! Pineapple belongs on pizza, but it needs to be fresh and juicy, not flat and crispy.

[13:32] Ryan McCartan: You're killing me! I think we might have to agree to disagree on this one.

[13:52] Linedy Genao: Alright, let's move on to some bilingual chisme. How did a guy from Minnesota end up speaking Spanish with a perfect Puerto Rican accent?

[14:02] Ryan McCartan: Well, it all started with my partner, Natalia. She’s Puerto Rican, and I wanted to connect with her culture.

[14:12] Linedy Genao: That's amazing! It must have been quite the journey learning the language.

[14:22] Ryan McCartan: It really was. I immersed myself in it, and it’s been such a rewarding experience.

[14:32] Linedy Genao: I love that! Now, let’s dive into a fun round of "Bed, Wed, Dead" featuring some Broadway icons.

[14:42] Ryan McCartan: Oh, this is going to be tough!

[14:52] Linedy Genao: Alright, here we go! First up: Idina Menzel, Kristin Chenoweth, and Audra McDonald.

[15:02] Ryan McCartan: Wow, that’s a lineup! I think I would have to...

[15:12] Linedy Genao: Take your time!

[15:22] Ryan McCartan: Okay, I would wed Audra, bed Idina, and sadly, I’d have to say goodbye to Kristin.

[15:32] Linedy Genao: Bold choices! Now, let’s get into the meaty middle of our sándwichito format.

[15:42] Ryan McCartan: Absolutely. I’ve been in this acting career for 25 years, and it’s been quite the ride.

[15:52] Linedy Genao: I can only imagine! What’s one piece of advice that has stuck with you throughout your journey?

[16:02] Ryan McCartan: A mentor once told me that being an artist is like waiting in a long line that only moves when others give up and go home.

[16:12] Linedy Genao: That’s powerful. It really speaks to the resilience needed in this industry.

[16:22] Ryan McCartan: For sure. And navigating mental health in this line of work is crucial.

[16:32] Linedy Genao: How do you personally handle the negativity that can come from the internet?

[16:42] Ryan McCartan: I focus on my community. Surrounding myself with supportive people makes a huge difference.

[16:52] Linedy Genao: That’s such a great approach. What’s the pre-show mantra you shared with me to combat anxiety?

[17:02] Ryan McCartan: It’s simple: “If it’s mentionable, it’s manageable.”

[17:12] Linedy Genao: I love that! It really puts things into perspective.

[17:22] Ryan McCartan: Exactly! And speaking of managing, I also want to talk about living with Type 1 Diabetes while performing.

[17:32] Linedy Genao: Yes, please do! That’s such an important topic.

[17:42] Ryan McCartan: It’s definitely a challenge, but with the right support and knowledge, it’s manageable.

[17:52] Linedy Genao: That’s inspiring to hear. It’s all about finding your community and resources.

[18:02] Ryan McCartan: Absolutely! Surviving the hardest parts of a career is all about that connection.

[18:12] Linedy Genao: Thank you for sharing your journey with us, Ryan.

[18:22] Ryan McCartan: Thank you for having me, Linedy!

[18:32] Linedy Genao: Alright, let’s wrap this up with some final thoughts.

[18:42] Ryan McCartan: Remember, if something is mentionable, it is completely manageable.

[18:52] Linedy Genao: Wise words! Thank you for joining us today, everyone.

[19:02] Ryan McCartan: Thanks for listening!

[19:12] Linedy Genao: Until next time, keep navigating those transitions, and remember, you’re not lost. You’re simply in-between acts!

[19:22] Ryan McCartan: See you next time!

[22:32] Linedy Genao: Take care!

[22:42] Ryan McCartan: Bye!

[22:52] Linedy Genao: Bye!

[23:31] Ryan McCartan: It is a team sport, and there's nothing special about me. Like if anyone else needed anything else, we would show up for them too because you can't do this alone. And I think for chronically ill people in any way who want to be successful, I think sometimes, and this is an older mentality, I think we're starting to rub this out of society, which I'm happy about. But I think sometimes it feels like just manage it, manage it yourself, keep it a secret, don't let it get in the way, don't scare people, whatever. And I'm here to tell you, your best path to success is being open about what you're going through and what you need.

[24:16] Linedy Genao: Yeah, absolutely. Because you never know how someone could be supportive and they want to be supportive of you.

[24:21] Ryan McCartan: Of course. And to help you because we love you, Coño.

[24:24] Linedy Genao: Of course. And by the way, and if they don't, good. That is a natural filtration method for you to be like, I want nothing to do with this institution. I do not want to work with these people. Because if the corporate culture is we don't help people who need it, I don't want to find out how else that manifests itself at this job. So that's kind of happened to me once, and I just ended up walking away from the job. And I'm so glad that I did.

[24:55] Ryan McCartan: Yeah. And it was a tiny little thing. It was when I was much younger, and the world was different then. But yeah, give people the opportunity to help you and they almost always will. And if they don't, then you automatically know they're not good people, and they're not worthy of your time.

[25:12] Linedy Genao: So háblanos de, you're about to play Tony, again in Westside. So y'all, I had the honor of being a part of a Westside Story production at the Lyric Opera of Chicago playing Rosalia, and literally the year after, Ryan did it as Tony. Like we were the same production.

[25:27] Ryan McCartan: The same production.

[25:28] Linedy Genao: Just a year later.

[25:30] Ryan McCartan: A year later.

[25:31] Linedy Genao: Yeah. So it was meant to be that we met all these years later. I don't know why, but I trust in the universe. Talk to us about this. What are you excited about to return back to this role, to this production? Just talk to us about all of that.

[25:42] Ryan McCartan: Yeah, I mean, I so first of all, it's the exact same production that that so you did it, then I did it. If you need Rosalia, talk to Gatsby. Maybe they'll give me a leave of absence to do it. Thank you. And then of now a few years later, Washington National Opera is producing sort of the Francesca Zambello Westside Story that we have both done. I actually worked with Francesca when I was like 16 at the Guthrie. It was like right after my, my like second big growth spurt, and she always called me Sequoia. And I'm like, Sequoia, get over here. We need we need we need a tall guy in the back. And she scared the living hell out of me because she's a badass. And she's direct, you know, I come from Minnesota, and she's very New York, you know, yeah.

But so it was great to then work with her again as an adult and be like, remember me? And she's like, Sequoia. And now I get to do it again. I like, I like being able to revisit something. I mean, even doing Gatsby, my contract was up in November. But then I was like, back in January, just because of how things shaked out over there. And they needed a little substitute teacher. And I came Oh, yeah. Oh, my God. And like, being able to like, step away from something and then step back into it. You know, life happens. And whatever's happening in life, then you take that, that into the job, and it can feel completely different, even though it's exactly the same.

[27:09] Ryan McCartan: I think, as I'm sure you know, and as I'm sure people will talk about, or probably already have on this podcast many times, like, you can be doing this for 25 years and still constantly be learning new stuff. And I think as it should be, I think if you're done learning, you're lying to yourself. So like doing Gatsby, I mean, I have learned probably more about my voice, I guess, as an adult in the last year than maybe ever. And so, you know, because I really had to be very judicious about how I sang this role to be able to even do it eight shows a week. So like, to kind of apply some of those new things that I learned from Gatsby to the very rewarding West Side Story material that I love to sing.

I mean, Maria is one of my favorite songs ever to sing. And so to be able to get to sing it with some of these new lessons that I've learned as a consequence of playing Gatsby, I'm really, really excited about. And you know, I mean, I was being glib before, I don't actually think that I'm old, but I do know that I'm getting older. And you know, Tony's a young man. So I'm gonna age out of him eventually, you know, time does move on. So I'm really glad that I that I get one more swing at it, because the run in Chicago, I mean, this is a short run, too. But the run in Chicago was like a month. And I remember being like, Oh, man, I'm really gonna miss singing this. And I kind of thought, you know, because I turned 30 on that contract.

And I kind of thought like, that's probably it for me. But to get to do it again, maybe one more time. I'm just it's that music is so good. Oh, my God. I'm so excited. What's your favorite song to sing? Other than Maria? I mean, there's something coming. I love something.

[28:55] Ryan McCartan: I love something's coming too. It's a great like, it's a great on ramp. You know, like with Gatsby, you have no on ramp, you sing for her. It's like the hardest song in the show. And it's the first thing you do literally. But something something's coming is, is, I mean, it's a great kind of I want song, it percolates really well, it really kind of establishes a lot. And it's not like too much of a beast to sing without being like boring. So although one hand one heart is so it's I that's the song that I wish I could sing, like, I want to train for the rest of my life to just sing that song for fun.

[29:37] Linedy Genao: Exactly. Yeah, exactly. But I sound more like a dinosaur. Oh, what did I just sound like? Oh, yeah. I need you to know I'm one of those people that when somebody says a word, and it like, I immediately think of whatever song it comes from. And I sing that song. So whenever anybody says who knows, or specifically Ryan, I go, who knows? And she's like, you know what that's from?

[30:01] Ryan McCartan: Who knows? Do you know what that's from?

[30:03] Linedy Genao: You're about to do what? Oh, yeah. So I know you just finished your run at Gatsby. I'm so sad that you're not there anymore. But it's okay. It's okay. And you're about to go into playing Tony.

[30:14] Ryan McCartan: That's right. So what is this in between period for you? I know you and I have spoken personally on how you're taking the time for yourself, for your family, for your partner for you to just, you know, rest and relax and get your you time since Gatsby obviously consumed so much of your life.

[30:28] Ryan McCartan: Yeah. I mean, I don't that that will be maybe you'll have to have me back. That'll that'll be a more interesting question. When West Side Story is over. Because after West Side Story, well, I have like one more tiny little thing that I'm not allowed to talk about. So no one can know.

[30:47] Linedy Genao: You better tell me I intermission in my room.

[30:49] Ryan McCartan: Post next time you're in my dressing room. Post West Side, you know what I'm doing? Post West Side. Okay, I'll tell you. Okay. I mean, I'll remind you because I already told you. But but after that, you know, as is very common for us after that, my schedule is blank. It's like a complete question mark of what happens in the summer. Right now, even though I have like time off between Gatsby and West Side, I'm at home learning West Side. So it kind of feels like I'm already in that. Yeah. But there's going to be a drop off where I'm going to I'm going to go from being probably sort of busier and more involved than I've ever been to like, completely free. And that's going to be interesting. I mean, what I what I tend to do is my girlfriend, I call it potato week, where I literally just become a potato for a week.

I just like I eat all the food I'm not allowed to eat. I sleep in I spend so much time on the couch. I play video games, I go out, I do whatever I want with absolutely no regard for like the rules or like my voice or like what, you know, and then after potato week, it's usually like, okay, until the next job comes. I want to invest as much time as I just invested in Gatsby or just invested in the project. I want to invest all of that time that I've just gained into myself. And so that looks like, you know, a lot of time at the gym, really tightening my blood sugar, you know, focusing on my diet, focusing on you know, like getting massages and skincare and long showers and beautiful walks in the summer and you know, going to the park and being outside and getting fresh air and all of those things that, you know, we sometimes can't fit into our schedule when we're doing eight shows a week, literally, literally, and it'll be summertime and I live by the beach.

[32:39] Linedy Genao: So you know where you're gonna be going to the ladies house. Correct.

[32:43] Ryan McCartan: Well, now we've reached the ending part of the bread, right, the second bread. So now, but I bought it. But I bought it means prepare yourself in Spanish. It's that's preparado. Bueno, vamos a empezar. This is our first kind of bilingual episode.

[33:00] Linedy Genao: Okay, wow, no pressure, Ryan, no pressure.

[33:08] Ryan McCartan: So because we're trying to keep it PG 13, we're going to play instead of Mary kill, you know what the bleep stands for?

[33:18] Linedy Genao: You need to be on TV. See, that was a TV moment. And we're going to play bed, wet, dead, bed, wet, dead. Okay, I'm going to really try to remember that that's what this is called.

[33:26] Ryan McCartan: Bed, wet. Okay, I do love this game.

[33:43] Ryan McCartan: Okay. I'm so sorry. I love all of them. I can't kill any of these women. Oh, my God. I know that everyone is mad at Patti LuPone for all the crazy things that Patti LuPone does. But I love Patti LuPone so much. I worked with her when I was like 18. What? She was like a little mentor and a masterclass for me. And then we got and then we and then we got to I have to tell a Patti LuPone story. Then we got to go to breakfast and we got to ask her whatever we wanted. I wasn't brave enough. But one of the girls in my group was brave enough to be like, everyone calls you a diva. What do you think about that? And Patti LuPone goes, Well, of course I'm a diva because I get what I want. And at the time, I thought that meant like I am a diva. But now that I'm older, what I realized she was saying is they will call you a diva when you ask for what you want. Now, granted.
