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
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.

Episode 413: John Levey - The Casting Director Series
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!

Episode 412: Seth Caskey - The Casting Director Series
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.
How being a professional actor, he has time for…not needy actor energy.
Being in the room is the part of the job he loves the most, but that same part of the job also wears him out.
How to keep in touch with Casting. Networking in Business.
But, I really loved his answer on Self-Tape and the perceptions we hold as actors about our opportunities, of our chances of booking more IN THE ROOM.
Self Tapes: What are you basing your perception off of – going into the room. You had no idea what your odds ever were? It’s an assumption you are choosing to make.
