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.    CONNECT WITH ME: ...

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...

Today’s guest is Casting Director John Levey. He might not like being called a legendary casting director, but when you worked on some of the greatest shows – ER, West Wing, and Shameless – I think we can call ya a legend. Or at least legend adjacent. We chatted about his new book RIGHT FOR THE ROLE (link below) and so much more…but his take on bringing these few things as some of the secret sauce to your work was mind-blowing: Authenticity, Intelligence, Sensitivity, Imagination, Talent!   ...

Today’s guest is Casting Director Seth Caskey. Mayor of Kingstown, What/IF, Glow.    A few things we talked about…  How he used to be an actor and the turning point that led him to Casting.

Networking in Business.    But, I really loved his answer on Self-Tape...
