Actors must memorize a great deal of text in order to prepare for a role, but when that production is complete, where does all of that go? Having spent so much time working to memorize something, do actors find it easier to access those memories if they happen to reprise a particular role?

Jacqueline Antaramian, is a talented actress who has captivated audiences on both stage and screen. She has earned critical acclaim for her versatility and range as an actor, from her work in classical theater to her appearances in hit television shows such as "American Gods" and "Homeland".

Jacqueline and I discuss her experiences as she has been asked to reprise more than a few roles over the course of her career. How does returning to a role change the process of learning or in this case relearning something previously put into memory?
