    Today’s guest we have Rose Rosen, Casting Director and Host of the podcast Casting Confidential! 
    We break down so much in this freaking episode. We deep dive into the business of acting in this podcast. I always love hearing this broken down from a CD’s perspective: Slates, Self-Tapes. How to really build relationships with Casting Directors, and so much more. I say, grab a snack or throw me in your ear and go for a walk. It’s about to get gooooood.

Having to act with a silver ball, working with Elizabeth Banks, and why it’s so freaking important to bring “F*ck it” to your career.

    Episode 502: Cameron Britton - The Emmy Nominated Actor Episode

    We’re kicking off Season 5 with Emmy nominated actor, Cameron Britton. I first fell in love with this guy after his incredible performance as a famous serial killer in 'Mindhunter'. But, maybe you know him from 'A Man Called Otto' opposite Tom Hanks, 'Umbrella Academy' opposite Mary J Blige or 'Manhunt'. Cameron is a working freaking actor…
     
    And he popped in and chatted with me and some think bigger fans - LIVE! And what a great talk we freaking had. Enjoy.

    Episode 501: DaJuan Johnson - State of The Industry

    Episode 501: DaJuan Johnson - State of The Industry

    In this Season 5 kickoff of the Think Bigger Actors Podcast, I dive into the current state of our industry, reflecting on the impacts of the recent strike, my agency imploding, and the ever-evolving dynamics of what it means to be a "working actor" today. 
    I’m using this S5 opener as a call to action for actors at every stage of their career to reassess their goals, strategies, and perspective as we really reset how we view “making it and working in today’s industry. 
    I’ll tell you how I do it- by HOLDING THE VISION. NOT THE CIRCUMSTANCES.
