18. The Crossover Episode of the Century with "Box Angeles" Host Mike Elder
Description
Mike Box Elder is a Los Angeles based actor originally from Minnesota. You've maybe seen him in a commercial or two, but probably didn't realize it. He once donned a pigeon suit for Vitamin Water.
He conspired with a couple dogs and used a drone to take off with a couple's Togo's subs. He buzzed his head for Dollar Shave Club. He also hosts the Box Angeles podcast where he interviews entertainment professionals about navigating show business. He would be the first to say he's not always certain how or when his 'big break' will come along but just last week a bird flew into his kitchen so he's got that going for him at least ...
