Few artists successfully build careers in both acting and music, but for Alicia Witt, the two worlds have always existed side by side. 

In the latest episode of The MarshyCast, Alicia joined me to discuss her latest projects, including her new film Cabbage and her moving new single Thank You, recorded with John Paul White. 

For television fans, Alicia has appeared in a remarkable range of shows over the years. We looked back at some of her most memorable roles, including appearances in Nashville, Friday Night Lights and Justified. Naturally, I had to ask which role people still stop her to talk about the most. 

The conversation then turned to music and her latest single, Thank You. The song carries special significance, serving as a tribute to the late filmmaker David Lynch, a hugely important figure in Alicia's life and career. Having first worked with Lynch as a child, the relationship remained a meaningful one throughout her life, making the song particularly personal. 

We also discussed the album surrounding the release and how songwriting allows her to express emotions in a very different way from acting. While acting involves stepping into someone else's story, music often comes directly from her own experiences and feelings. 

One of the most interesting moments came when I asked Alicia to compare her life today with where she was twenty years ago. The answer offered a fascinating glimpse into how success, creativity and perspective evolve over time. 

It's a thoughtful conversation with an artist who continues to balance two very different creative worlds with remarkable honesty.
