Jake Ferree: Life is too short to be one thing

This week on Ilse Will Say, Ilse sits down with actor, musician, wine guy, and casual full-calendar haver Jake Ferree. You’ve seen Jake on The Baxters, True Detective, and more, but this episode gets into the stuff that does not fit neatly on an IMDb page: touring with his Irish punk band Hounds of Belfast, turning pandemic drinking into actual wine knowledge, why grocery store wine might be personally attacking you, and what happens when Jude Law gently asks to pass by you on Broadway.

They also get into the weirdness of being a working actor when your footage is stuck in release limbo, the joy of refusing to be just one thing, and a truly terrifying haunted stay at the Lemp Mansion that may ruin bathrooms for everyone.

Follow Jake on Instagram @jakeferree, check out his band Hounds of Belfast at @houndsofbelfast, and go watch their music video “Bar Maid” on YouTube. If you’re in LA, you can also catch Hounds of Belfast live on June 19th at The Mint.
