Rick is joined by actor and comedian, Clayton Farris this week.
A longtime Los Angeles–based actor and writer, Clayton has spent 17 years in Hollywood honing his signature blend of grounded performances and sharp comedic timing. In Weapons, he plays Terry: a substantive, scene-stealing role that marks a standout moment in his career.
Farris, stars in Weapons, the highly anticipated Warner Bros. thriller from Barbarian director Zach Cregger, released on August 8, 2025. He joins the legendary cast that includes Josh Brolin, Alden Ehrenreich, and Julia Garner–and is currently filming several major projects to be announced soon.
Clayton’s previous credits span standout genre projects across horror and comedy, including American Horror Story, Ratched, The Morning Show, and most recently, the hit A24 slasher MaXXXine. He’s also built a robust digital presence through witty, relatable sketch comedy—writing and starring in videos that consistently rack up millions of views, earning him the nickname “the Larry David of TikTok.”
Clayton enjoys hiking in LA and also backpacks. He hosted a hiking club and we talk more about that.
Enjoy this talk with one of my favorite people in Hollywood, Clayton Farris.
