    JACOB SCIPIO: Not Asking for Permission Dec 09, 2025
    Show notes

    Our guest this week, Jacob Scipio, began his acting journey practically straight out of the womb, signed by his aunt's boutique agency at birth and appearing on BBC television throughout his childhood. His path to becoming a working adult actor was far from easy, though; after auditioning for ten drama schools and getting into none, he found himself a broke student working odd jobs like landscape gardening. Tune in to hear the unbelievable sequence of events that followed, starting with a surprise call from the director of the American war film The Outpost and the white lie Jacob told to secure the job. He also shares the risky move he made by walking back into producer Jerry Bruckheimer's office and the hilarious, impromptu chemistry read with Will Smith that ultimately earned him the life-changing role of Smith's son in the Bad Boys franchise.

    These are the unforgettable stories that landed Jacob Scipio right here.

    MICHELLE HURD: See Yourself as #1 on the Call Sheet Dec 02, 2025
    Show notes

    Get ready for an electrifying deep dive with Michelle Hurd, an actress, activist, and industry powerhouse whose career has spanned Shakespeare, sitcoms, sci-fi universes, and everything in between. Born into a legendary artistic lineage and raised to treat acting as both a sacred craft and a true business, Michelle opens up about the relentless training and unwavering discipline that have fueled her ability to work only as an actor since college. She reveals the strategy that won her the fiercely complex role of Raffi on Star Trek: Picard in just two takes. Michelle also pulls back the curtain on her crucial work within SAG-AFTRA, sharing why boundaries matter, why actors should never be asked to tape themselves unclothed, and how she's fighting to make sets safer for everyone. With recent projects alongside Jennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein and several new films on the way, Michelle Hurd is as unstoppable as ever.

    COLIN EGGLESFIELD: Don't Wait to Be Chosen Nov 25, 2025
    Show notes

    Step into an extraordinary journey with Colin Egglesfield, a multi-hyphenate creator who has built a global career by refusing to follow a straight path. After taking the MCAT, he made a radical pivot into modeling before breaking into Hollywood with a contract role on All My Children. Along the way he survived multiple life-altering setbacks, including multiple bouts of cancer and living through the World Trade Center tragedy, which reshaped his entire outlook on purpose and possibility. Colin opens up about the intense pressures of Hollywood including being unexpectedly killed off a show, being told he looked "too much like Tom Cruise" in an audition, and how he overcame debilitating stage fright through unconventional acting exercises. You don't want to miss how he booked Something Borrowed after five rounds of auditions, including how he wrote his Oscar acceptance speech before the final audition.

    These are the unforgettable stories that landed Colin Egglesfield right here.

    PIERSON FODE: Hard Work is Your Luck Nov 11, 2025
    Show notes

    Today Alyshia sits down with Pierson Fodé: an actor who you likely have seen all over your Netflix homepage this year. Pierson breaks down the brutal soap-opera contract that became the "best acting bootcamp" he ever had, memorizing up to 120 pages a day, and how he later reinvented himself as an actor to shake casting directors' "soapy" perceptions. We also get into why he loves self tapes including the unconventional farm-boy slate that impressed James Gunn during his Superman audition. He shares his audition approach and belief that hard work is your luck in this industry. Pierson now stars in Netflix's upcoming holiday rom-com A Merry Little Ex-Mas and recently led Netflix's #1 film worldwide The Wrong Paris. Up next, he joins Jennifer Lopez in Robert Zemeckis' highly anticipated thriller The Last Mrs. Parrish.

    These are the unforgettable stories that landed Pierson Fodé right here.

    PAUL BEN-VICTOR: Typecast Me All Day Long Nov 04, 2025
    Show notes

    Today's episode spotlights the prolific Paul Ben-Victor, a powerhouse talent whose decades-long career has touched nearly every corner of film, stage, and television. Paul shares his unexpected path from set design at Carnegie Mellon to a breakout acting opportunity, and the intense, immersive methods he used to book roles in the 1980s—like screaming in subway cars to perfect a raspy voice. He reflects on receiving direct offers for iconic projects including True Romance, The Wire, and True Detective, contrasting the grueling audition process of the past with the collaborative freedom of modern self-taping. Paul also recounts unforgettable moments working with legendary directors—especially the almost sacred atmosphere on Martin Scorsese's sets—and the nerves of acting opposite his hero Robert De Niro.

    These are the unforgettable stories that landed Paul Ben-Victor right here.
