Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor Years before they were part of the Critical Role D&D role-playing crew, Ashley Johnson and Taliesin Jaffe were child actors — and they’re talking all about their experiences growing up in Hollywood in CR’s upcoming show “Weird Kids.” “Weird Kids,” presented as a podcast-style conversation between Johnson and Jaffe, is “part hilarious confession, part heartfelt reflection and all-around love letter to anyone who has ever felt like an outsider,” Critical Role says.
The full 24-episode run of “Weird Kids” will be available exclusively through Critical Role’s membership service, Beacon ($5.99/month).
