#40 Jake Epstein – From Degrassi Kid to Broadway Star + More
I recently worked with Jake Epstein on Doc and was SO excited to finally meet the guy I’d been hearing so much about for years. Jake is a profoundly talented actor who began as a child star and quickly found himself as a regular on the iconic teen drama, Degrassi. Where his story becomes even more interesting is that he chose to leave that show and go to theatre school, beginning the steps of the journey that would lead him to starring on Broadway as “Spider Man” in Spider Man: Turn Off The Dark (one of the most technically ambitious Broadway shows in history). Jake is whip smart, funny, and profoundly brave in his willingness to follow the creative threads of his life. I’m a huge fan of this gent, I have a feeling you’ll love this episode, so dive on in.

#40 Devin Cecchetto – The Multitalented Bright Light of “The Way Home”
Devin Cecchetto is a hugely talented actor and musician who is very much following the path of her own choosing. There’s a lot to learn from this episode, but one of the things that stuck with me the most is the courage Devin brings to backing herself and trusting that the right things will come her way so she’s free to pull the creative threads of her life that light her up. And light up she does, with starring roles in the hit series “The Way Home” and Netflix’s “Wayward”, alongside a thriving pop music career—her song “Supersonic Girl” is an absolute banger, check it out. This episode was a deep, grounded, and fun ride through the mind of an up and coming star. So, give it a watch/listen, you won’t regret it! Also, be sure to check out season 4 of The Way Home, out now!

#39 Patrick Walker – The Creative, Passionate, and Humble Star of DOC
Patrick Walker is one of many unbelievably talented series regulars on the hit Fox medical drama “DOC” where he plays Dr. TJ Coleman. He also happens to be one of the kindest, most passionate, and creative people I have the good fortune to know. Listen, I’m biased on this one because Patrick and I work together on the show. This also happens to give me first hand credibility when I say that Patrick is a rising tide who lifts all boats. Every time he steps on set he brings light, creativity, and an insatiable curiosity of the entire filmmaking process. There are no bad days when you’re working with Patrick. As early as the pilot, I wanted to get him on the show because he’s profoundly passionate about acting. This episode is full of incredible insight, stories of faith, amazing tips, mindset lessons, and out of the box thinking. Patrick is a rising star, so come get to know him. Thanks, again, to Patrick for coming on the pod and don’t miss the two hour season finale of Doc on Fox dropping April 14th on Fox (next day on Hulu)!

#38 Colleen Rush – At The Forefront of Modern Casting
Colleen Rush is a casting director who works via her own company, as well as in collaboration with Larissa Mair Casting & Associates. She—in addition to being smart, kind, and hard working—is one of the most exciting voices in casting today. Colleen’s deeply invested in actors and is fascinated by the symbiotic nature of the relationship between casting and performer. In this episode, as we set about demystifying the casting process for our listeners, Colleen shows just how much she cares about actors, respects their processes, and how she is constantly rooting for them. Straight up, I learned a lot from speaking with her, things that will make me both a better actor and coach, and I can’t wait for you to take the deep dive with us. A thousand thank you’s to Colleen for being the first casting director we’ve had on the show! What an honor!

#37 Julia Tomasone – The Clear, Confident, and Inspiring Star of The Way Home
Julia Tomasone’s journey through life hasn’t always been easy, in fact the road that has led her to starring as Delilah in the hit series “The Way Home” has taken her all the way from child actor, to patient at Sick Kids Hospital, to author, producer, and much more. I’ve worked with Julia for years and I was shocked by just how much I didn’t know about her. This is one of my favorite things about the podcast, learning deeper truths about artists that I respect and admire. Julia is a grounded, confident, and respectful human. She respects others and herself, and she brings that sense of self into her work every time she steps on camera. She’s present, clear, and deeply emotionally engaged, all while being led by a super powered intellect. Learning about her journey, struggles, and triumphs was inspiring for me and I know it will be for you all as well. Julia is one of a kind, my friends, so dive on in. I can’t wait for you to get to know her.

#36 Katherine Fogler – Comedy, Drama, and YouTube Success With Kat Watches Horror Movies
Katherine Fogler—creator and star of the super popular Kat Watches Horror Movies YT channel—just so happens to be both incredibly funny and one of my best friends. She’s an inspiration to me, to be honest, because early on she realized that the industry is changing and modes of distribution and creation are evolving at a pace that’s nearly impossible to predict. So, in addition to her successful acting career (CFC Alumni, The Dancing Dogs of Dombrova, The Boy in the Woods, Suits, Murdoch Mysteries) she recognized that her improv skills would be super useful in doing the one thing she hates the most: Watching horror movies…for millions of people on the internet. She tortures herself so you don’t have to. She entertains with vulnerability, catastrophic fear, and a razor sharp wit. In short, she’s friggin’ great. And she’s an incredibly kind person, a great friend, a mentor, and innovator. I can’t say enough good things about Kath. So, if you want to be entertained, educated, and get to know this amazing woman, dive on it. I appreciate you!

#35 Daniel Maslany – Longevity and Creative Consistency Through Years of Success
I’ve been a fan of Daniel Maslany’s work since first seeing him on the YouTube Red series, Impulse. Since then he and I have crossed paths many times but we finally got a chance to work together on the pilot for Fox’s Doc. Getting to see his work up close was a delight. He’s empathetic, present, focused, giving, and professional. He saturates everything he does with thought and personality, bringing a full three dimensionality to every character he builds. He’s also an actor who takes his relationship with audience very seriously. He never forgets who these stories are for, and getting to chat with him about his long running roles was eye opening and insightful. In short, there’s a lot here to both be entertained by and learn from. I’m a big fan of Daniel, and I know you will be too (if you aren’t already). So check out the full episode (links in bio to wherever podcasts are found). Don’t forget to like and subscribe (and rate 5 stars) wherever you find us.

#34 Kristian Bruun – To Thine Own Self Be True
Early on, Kristian Bruun was taught the lesson “to thine own self be true”. Now. What does that mean to an 18 year old theatre kid? Not much. But it’s since become a theme that’s led him through a profoundly successful career. Kristian’s an actor who’s a student of theatre and film, technique, and has also woven that theme through himself at a core level. He is, unapologetically, himself (as you’ll see in this podcast). He’s a delight, a comedic powerhouse, a dramatic presence, and just an overall great and interesting guy. Makes sense that he’s a veteran of elite series + films like Orphan Black, Carter, Ready or Not, Snowpiercer, The Recruit, and many, many more. Dive on in, lots to learn, and lots to be entertained by in this one. Appreciate you being here!
