    ASHER GRODMAN: Unlocking the Magic of Ensemble Comedy in Ghosts

    As one of ten series regulars on CBS' hit comedy series "Ghosts," actor Asher Grodman knows that the true magic of the show lies in collaboration with the ensemble cast. Along with "Ghosts," his impressive list of credits includes roles on HBO's "Succession," NBC's "Chicago Med," Netflix's "House of Cards," as well as writing, directing, producing and acting in his own award-winning short film "The Train." In today's episode, Asher discusses the learning curve that came with working in an ensemble cast and explains how the job involves so much more than just hitting the jokes. He reminds actors that we ultimately need to leave our homework at home, and shares his personal experience of bouncing back after getting fired, saying that the key is learning how to fail and to instead see those moments as valuable lessons.
    These are the unforgettable stories that landed Asher Grodman right here.

Writing non-stop notes

Such an important podcast. I find gems of knowledge in every episode. Just listened to Brittany S. Hall’s episode and OMG I wrote so many notes my hand started cramping up.

The BEST acting podcast - should be part of acting school curriculum

This podcast has allowed me to look forward to house chores (and anything else you can do while listening to a podcast)… while every actor’s journey is different, Alyshia has created an online community with transparency that helps us all recognise a rewarding journey is also always challenging. That being said, each episode is incredibly inspiring - it really should be taught /included in any acting school’s curriculum for all students to listen to. Thank you for making this podcast Alyshia !

A NeverEnding Masterclass in Reslience

I stumbled across this podcast while listening to the Just Shoot It podcast. I am SO glad I did. Alyshia asks all the right questions that affirms your journey as an actor. I get so motivated and inspired by listening to the stories of each of her guests. ESPECIALLY that Laurence Fishbourne episode, which can I say, was so incredibly refreshing and positive. To hear the full story of such an iconic black actor’s career was incredible to me especially as a woman of color. THANK you Alyshia for the work you have put into creating this podcast. You are a legend!
