In "The Arts & The Big Break," host Brian Cole, chancellor of UNCSA, speaks with School of Drama alumni Anna Camp ("Pitch Perfect," "True Blood," "Mad Men") and Krys Marshall ("For All Mankind," "Paradise") about the preparation, persistence and personal conviction behind the moments that appear, from the outside, to be overnight success.
