On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by Chet Hanks.
Hanks' acting career began in the late 2000s and soon bloomed into a series of appearances on hit TV shows, including Empire, Atlanta, and Shameless (most recently, he’s made headlines for living in an RV out in Nashville while promoting a new season of the Netflix comedy Running Point).
Stopping by the Artist Friendly studio, he discusses rebuilding his life through gratitude, the intricacies of growing up in the spotlight, and finding balance between acting and making music with his band, Something Out West.
