RE-RELEASE: Tommy Dewey — Nothing CASUAL About THE MINDY PROJECT Jan 21, 2020

Show notes

Tommy Dewey may seem casually cool and like he has it all figured out in this business, but it took "letting go" of perfection to land the jobs on CASUAL and THE MINDY PROJECT that made him feel like he could truly relax and embrace a fully realized character. A collegiate track runner at Princeton University, Tommy had big plans for Wall Street signing up for the LSAT twice. On hiatus from a stress fracture, Tommy accepted a challenge to audition for the two coveted spots in Princeton's improv troupe. No acting experience, but a innate sense of comedic timing and his sports driven ambitious nature landed him one of the two coveted roles out of 100 actors. Tommy not only secured the spot in the group, he eventually was the troupe's director and writer. Law School was still waiting for Tommy, but Tommy challenged himself with a summer intensive at RODA and now attributes his success to his fall back plan being writing. Yes, this guy can write! Tommy took a year off of acting to create and run the writer's room for his own show "Sons of Tucson." Listen in to hear how Tommy deals with nerves, how he runs a casting session for his shows, what really gets you the job, how to stay in the game and how his back up plan now is writing

QUOTES:

"If you can get to that point where you can relax enough to give them your version of the person, even if they like it or not, you are going to start in a much better place."

"I was always off book, I wanted to land everything perfectly, but that is not what acting is...acting is what happens in the ethers between two people."

"Auditioning should be much more of a mess. I mean it should be messy and always searching. The key is being present and creating whatever it is in the ether between whoever you are working with. That's what the camera needs to see. Not you saying it perfectly."

RE-RELEASE: Lucy Hale — The Pretty Little Liar That Landed a Life Sentence Jan 14, 2020

Show notes

Lucy Hale gives insight to how her shy, homeschooled, hopeful, naive yet intuitive belief she would "make it" lead her to Hollywood to chase a dream we all have. This Southern girl has the charm and the class that has made her a rising, accoladed star for the past 15 years. She gives a candid look at "growing up" in the business and how she deals with self-doubt moments. She gives way to figuring out what really makes her happy and if she will return to making music. Listen in to see how this beautiful face relies on her professionalism, grace and gratefulness to stay the most sought after actress. I love Lucy will have a whole new meaning after listening to this episode. Lucy is a delight and shares how Instagram has changed the business and created a marketing platform to let fans influence the plot lines of current shows.

Lucy was made a household name and received several awards playing Aria on PRETTY LITTLE LIARS. Currently, Lucy is starring in the highly anticipated CW show LIFE SENTENCE and Blumhouse film, TRUTH OR DARE.

We chat about some of her hilarious audition stories, what it was like working in the theatre and then transitioning to film, and how she's always managed to trust her artistic instincts—even when they lead her against the advice of her team.

We get into some great listener questions, where she offers her practical advice for process, but as she shares, her "only real ritual is preparation." It is this kind of investment in her craft that has led her to opportunities where she's shot for 48 hours straight between TWO major TV shows.
