S2 017: Brandon Kyle Goodman — 99% of the Work is Being a Better Human Aug 04, 2020

Show notes

From bringing diverse, powerful characters to life on the screen, to writing scripts for one of the most successful television series on Netflix, Brandon Kyle Goodman has emerged in the entertainment industry as a powerful force with a voice to be reckoned with.

This summer, Goodman can be seen starring in Netflix's upcoming feature film, "Feel the Beat," opposite Sofia Carson. The drama follows an out-of-work actress, April (Carson), who returns to her small hometown after failing to find success on Broadway and is soon recruited to train a misfit group of young dancers for a big competition. Goodman shines as the outspokenly brave, queer Deco, April's neighbor and support system while she adjusts returning to her country life. "Feel the Beat" is slated to premiere on Netflix on June 19, 2020.

S2 016: Rosalind Chao — The Consummate Actor Jul 28, 2020

Show notes

She's the actress who's been in just about everything. You know that actor whose face you know like the back of your hand and whose work never fails to leave you wondering just how do they do it. Well get ready to be let in on the light that is Rosalind Chao. Listening to this woman share about her journey her childlike play spirit shines through. It's no wonder she was discovered as a small child running up and down the aisles of her parent's restaurant. Rosalind has allowed herself to flow from theatre to TV to film and back again. She's not shy about her struggles with self-doubt and fear but it is her work ethic that is unwavering.

Even more impressive than her five-decade long resume is her determination to keep her personal life the priority. This woman lives from trust and abundance. It's no wonder she just keeps working. She is the consummate actor who most recently appeared in the new play The Great Wave at The National Theatre in London just before she began shooting Disney's live action Mulan scheduled to open in theatres this July. Listen and soak up her sense of freedom with the work and healthy detachment to the business. A lesson we all can keep learning. I admire this woman deeply and am thrilled to share the wealth of her wide breadth of experience.

S2 015: Maximiliano Hernandez — The Foundation of a Working Actor & P.S. Thank You, Randi Hiller Jul 21, 2020

Show notes

Today's guest has put in his 10,000 hours and then some. As he says, he's marked his spot.

We're talking with Maximiliano Hernandez, who's an actor, writer, producer, and teacher. Many of you will know him for his role as Agent Jasper Sitwell in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He's appeared in Thor, The Avengers, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Avengers: Endgame, as well as Marvel's hit TV show Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

His journey began in Brooklyn and continued to the stage in New York City before moving on to a prolific career in film and television. His credits range from TV dramas like FX's The Americans, TNT's The Last Ship, Amazon's Hand of God, and Audience Network's Mr. Mercedes. As well as critically acclaimed films like Sicario and Warrior.

He shares how being dyslexic is one of his superhero talents, how being a 'nice guy' can seal the deal, and how important it is to stay open, stay prepared, and to let go of how we think things should happen. That's when the magic can happen.

BONUS: David Jolliffe, Sean Astin & Shaan Sharma — Get Out the No Campaign: A SAG-AFTRA Panel Discussion Jul 16, 2020

Show notes

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2020, SAG-AFTRA members will be voting either "Yes" or "No" on the proposed 2020 TV/Theatrical Contract. While the SAG-AFTRA National Board has been pushing for a "Yes" vote from members, today's guests will discuss the ways in which they feel the union has failed to disclose the whole story and exactly what this contract will mean for performers in the entertainment industry moving forward.

In our current COVID-19 world, the need for performers has only increased as people turn to film and television for relief during an ongoing global health pandemic. Today, I sit down with actors and longtime SAG-AFTRA members, David Jolliffe, Sean Astin, and Shaan Sharma as they discuss the intricacies of the contract and how it lead to the development of the "Get Out the No" campaign in an effort to educate voters about the various ways in which the contract will affect performers in terms of income and residual payments, health and pension considerations, on set safety provisions and much more.

With so much still unknown as to when the film industry will reopen and resume work, today's conversation is an important one. It brings into question how we as actors can continue to make a living as performers from the early stages of our careers, to well into our older years. Today's guests are advocating for union members to be given what they deserve as valued members of the industry and ask us to consider the question, "At what point do you finally say no?"

S2 014: Ben Barnes — Lean Into Where You Are Jul 14, 2020

Show notes

In today's episode we're chatting with Ben Barnes. This British actor (and skilled musician) has charmed audiences as the heroic prince in The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian and surprised them as the enigmatic Logan Delos in HBO's science fiction thriller Westworld.

His love for storytelling began early: on stage performing with the National Youth Music Theatre. Since then his career has told the story of an artist who possesses true grit, a love for craft, and a desire to explore whatever he hasn't done. He shares how blind persistence landed him his first agent, and how a secret injury helped him create one of his most recognizable roles.

For Ben, perspective and perseverance is key. Moving through the peaks and valleys of this industry requires trusting what you have to offer and choosing to be empowered regardless of circumstance. And that's exactly what Ben continues to do. His work includes an array of diverse film and TV credits such as Easy Virtue, By The Gun, Seventh Son, Big Wedding, Sons of Liberty, The Punisher, Gold Digger and a lead role on Netflix's soon to be series Shadow and Bone.

S2 013: Emily Mortimer — Dare To Own It Jul 07, 2020

Show notes

A talented and charming actress, writer, director and producer, Emily Mortimer continues to challenge herself with a variety of creative endeavors, leaving audiences captivated on the big and small screens alike. Mortimer is currently in production on her directorial debut "The Pursuit of Love" for BBC One, a three-part mini-series she has adapted from the 1945 novel of the same name by Nancy Mitford. Today, this insightful, charming, magnetic talent opens up about her shyness, the continual struggle with imposter syndrome and what made her stop apologizing and ultimately own her art expressing how insecurities in life have allowed her to let go of expectations and thrive in the audition room.

Emily speaks to the beauty of what happens when you don't try too hard and how auditioning for great storytellers ignites her. This skill of being completely open and deeply vulnerable has landed her the responsibility of playing some of the most coveted roles in Mary Poppins Returns, The Newsroom, Shutter Island, Lars and the Real Girl, Doll & Em, Match Point, Lovely & Amazing and so many more plus the upcoming projects, like the new horror film Relic and the Quibi show Don't Look Deeper with Don Cheadle.

S2 012: Mireille Enos — The World is Saying Yes Jun 30, 2020

Show notes

Today's guest is a supreme example of the power of stillness. She radiates a quiet magnetism that draws her audiences into the inner life of the riveting and layered characters she portrays. Mireille Enos talks with us today about her journey and the major signs the universe was giving her along the way indicating a big YES to whether or not she was on the right path. Starting with winning the Irene Ryan Acting Scholarship, an award annually presented to the nation's top collegiate actor, she went on to spend 10 years in New York City gaining confidence and experience as well as a Broadway Tony nomination for her portrayal of "Honey" in Edward Albee 's "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?"

In addition to stage credits, she went on to work in both film and television and gained critical acclaim for her lead role of detective Sarah Linden in AMC's crime drama, The Killing. She can currently be seen playing the role of Marissa Wiegler in the Amazon original series, Hanna . Today, Mireille shares her wealth of knowledge and experience from how she knows when a role is meant for her, to the importance of switching from artist brain to business brain when considering agency representation, and of course, what it was like to chemistry read with Brad Pitt.

WEDNESDAY WISDOM: Depression — with Alyshia Ochse Jun 24, 2020

Show notes

"I am bent, but not broken. I am scarred, but not disfigured. I am sad, but not hopeless. I am tired, but not powerless. I am angry, but not bitter. I am depressed, but not giving up."

Giving up when you have a mental illness like depression sounds attractive in your darkest moments. Today we discuss all feelings and allowing them to be part of the conversation.

As an artist, you must understand and experience all emotions/feelings without judgement.

Oge Egbuonu discussed in the previous episode "I don't label depression as a bad thing for me. For me, those are all moments of redirection."

If you are struggling with mental health or suicidal thoughts please see the FREE help that is available at ActorsFund.org.

S2 011: Oge Egbuonu — (In)Visible Portraits: Love Letter to Black Women, and a Re-Education to Everyone Else Jun 23, 2020

Show notes

Today we're sitting down with Oge Egbuonu. She's a director, writer, producer—a storyteller. A voice that's piercing the veil of what history has shown a Black woman's experience in America to be.

Her directorial debut, (In)Visible Portraits, was just released on Juneteenth. It's a Think Piece, a self-described "love letter to Black women, and a re-education to everyone else." Oge shares how she found herself in the middle of creating this film, aware of its bigger purpose in being a vehicle for people to start questioning what they were taught to believe as true.

Her journey to becoming a filmmaker is beautifully unconventional—from working in a hotel, to discovering a calling in teaching yoga, to accepting an unexpected job at Raindog Films where she helped bring to life Eye in the Skye (starring Helen Mirren and Alan Rickman) and the award-winning film Loving (starring Ruth Negga and Joel Edgerton).

Each plot twist of her story shows a divine calling and a desire to be a vessel of service. Oge reminds us that we're in a collective space of reimagining what's possible, and that is the most powerful place we can be in right now.
