The actor’s journey is one of occasional joyous highs and frequent devastating lows. It is a path riddled with self-doubt and frustration, questioning our career choices and wondering if we’ll ever really ”make it.” Even still, those few moments of glory onstage or onscreen sustain us through all the setbacks and challenges. So each week New York actor Patrick Oliver Jones invites fellow creatives to join him in a conversation about this journey and share stories of failure and persistence to find out what keeps them going. It’s a behind-the-scenes look at the creative life rarely seen in the glitz and glam of this industry and reminds us we’re not alone in this long and winding journey.
