While The 98% mostly discusses everything about the real #actorslife aside from the actual art of acting…this episode is a slight gear change as Alexa talks to renowned acting teacher Terry Knickerbocker. In this down to earth, honest chat you can hear discussion on the importance of laying the foundations for working on your craft, why your goals should be more than just “be a working actor”, what to look out for when finding a good coach, the importance of self care and finding a nurturing teacher, how to handle the business and stay resilient, self taping advice…and the reasons why Terry loves to work with Daniel Craig! Terry has been teaching new actors as well as coaching experienced actors for decades, and despite working with some of the most famous actors in the world - he has never got caught up in the smoke and mirrors of the profession and remains steadfast in offering training for actors to realize their full potential at his acting studio in New York; Terry Knickerbocker Studio. This is a hugely relatable episode and one to inspire those who may need a reminder, in this difficult and draining industry, of why we are in it in the first place.
