This British actor (and skilled musician) has charmed audiences as the heroic prince in The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian and surprised them as the enigmatic Logan Delos in HBO’s science fiction thriller Westworld. His love for storytelling began early: on stage performing with the National Youth Music Theatre. Since then his career has told the story of an artist who possesses true grit, a love for craft, and a desire to explore whatever he hasn’t done. He shares how blind persistence landed him his first agent, and how a secret injury helped him create one of his most recognizable roles. For Ben, perspective and perseverance is key. Moving through the peaks and valleys of this industry requires trusting what you have to offer and choosing to be empowered regardless of circumstance. And that’s exactly what Ben continues to do. His work includes an array of diverse film and TV credits such as Easy Virtue, By The Gun, Seventh Son, Big Wedding, Sons of Liberty, The Punisher, Gold Digger and a lead role on Netflix’s soon to be series Shadow and Bone.

He’s worked on numerous award-winning films such as “Once Upon a Time… In Hollywood,” “Gone Girl,” “12 Years a Slave,” “Argo,” and “Killing Them Softly.” He’s starred in critically acclaimed series such as “Narcos: Mexico,” “Godless,” and “Halt and Catch Fire.” The list of legendary directors he’s worked with will blow your mind.

But he’s also someone who admits there are things he loves doing just as much as acting and there are times when he’s left the industry to explore them. He’s candid about the working relationships and friendships that have impacted his career. You’ll hear what Academy Award, Golden Globe, and Emmy winning actor has inspired him the most. And you’ll see how everyone’s process coming to the craft is unique—it’s important to build your own bag of tricks.

Today I sit down with Simone Missick an actress truly led by spirit. This kick-ass woman is no stranger to walking in faith and trusting the process. When she booked her breakout role of Misty Knight in Marvel’s Luke Cage for Netflix she had only a handful of co-stars to her resume. She admits to struggling with self-doubt about choosing a life path as an actor. Her focus is on her inner journey over the business. This interview is a refreshingly honest and vulnerable look at what it means to literally walk into one’s vision and be a light for others. Simone leads CBS’ ALL RISE which is currently the most popular new network show of 2019! She is the first African American woman to lead a series on CBS, and it’s been a huge huge hit for the network. She will also soon be seen opposite Anthony Mackie in the second season of Netflix’s hit sci-fi anthology drama ALTERED CARBON.

Merle graduated college and had a wild inclination that New York was where she needed to be to fulfill her purpose. With $107 in her pock, a packed Uhaul and an ailing kitten, she drove to New York and landed in the sea of many hopeful artist. Merle was still figuring out what was cool and learning everything on the fly. At the time a non-equity actor, she heard that everyone in town was going to audition for "Jesus Christ Superstar", so she decided to learn a song and stand in line at 4am to hopefully be given the opportunity to audition. At 1pm the casting director not only called her in to the room, but gave her the space and the light to shine. Even though most things came to Merle very easily, she was still doing what she considers "on the job" training and chasing after an idea or feeling of what it is to be an actress. After a job replaced her, a blessing in disguise, Merle accredits her acting coach Warner Loughlin for giving her the strength and confidence to approach every role with ease and unwavering sense of responsibility to the intention and message of the role. After working three jobs to support her theater career, Merle Dandridge landed herself in the company of Oprah and now holds the honor of portraying Grace on OWN's hit show, GREENLEAF.

In this interview, Joely Fisher, the secretary-treasurer of SAG-AFTRA, discusses the ongoing negotiations and strike authorization vote. She emphasizes the importance of unity, transparency, and debunking misconceptions. Fisher highlights rejected points by producers and the need to address dignity, humanity, and fairness in the industry. She emphasizes regulating AI to protect consent and compensation. Fisher urges actors to stand in solidarity, participate in picket lines, and support indie films. The interview concludes with SAG/AFTRA talking points and see the show notes for all the notices sent by SAG/AFTRA regarding what is allowed and not allowed during this unprecedented time. WHAT WE ARE ASKING FOR (SAG Talking Points): Compensation / Revenue Sharing Accepting the AMPT's final offer would mean that performers would be paid 5% less in real-dollar terms over the next three years than they were paid in June of 2020. As the streaming companies lowball actors and raise their subscription fees, their goal seems to be to reward shareholders at the expense of both their workers and their audiences. SAG-AFTRA has proposed a revenue-sharing model that would ensure that the casts of every film or series will share in the revenue that it generates for its streaming platforms. Health Care and Retirement Funding Employer contributions into the SAG-AFTRA Health Plan, the SAG Pension Plan and the AFTRA Retirement Fund are currently limited by episodic contribution caps that haven't changed in 40 years. SAG-AFTRA's proposal would increase these limits in line with inflation. Online Casting Platforms No one should be required to pay a fee to access work opportunities and equitable consideration. Because of this, SAG-AFTRA seeks to ensure a fair casting process. Artificial Intelligence Safeguards need to be put in place to ensure actors are always able to give consent and are compensated when their likenesses are used in the creation of new projects.

Jason Momoa was the FIRST one to audition for GAME OF THRONES and the LAST one cast a year later. His cousins impact on his life helped him make a strong choice that ultimately landed him the role. But it took him a few years and a couple of classes to trust his instinctive strong choices and learn how to "audition". BAYWATCH discovered him in his native home of Hawaii among a 1300 person cattle call. Jason responded to a radio call announcing the audition that would pay him more than the daily rate of folding T-shirts at the family owned surf shop. Jason's unique look has always made him a different choice but also made opportunities few and far between. So Jason, with many of his close friends, formed the production company Pride of Gypsies which has made Jason into an all around film maker, writing, producing, directing and acting. Jason will always be remembered for his unforgettable role as Drogo in season one of GAME OF THRONES. Currently, Jason is Aquaman in the DC Comics JUSTICE LEAGUE and AQUAMAN in 2018.

Katheryn Winnick is now known for her starring role as Lagertha in the critically acclaimed show Vikings on the History Channel. It took 14 years for Katheryn to find a role that truly showcased her unique strength as a double black belt holder in Tae Kwon Do and Karate. Her journey into acting began with getting fired from her first set due to her enthusiasm for the realism of the action, which led her to instinctively yell in a scene as a background artist. Undeterred, she confidently told her mother that one day she would become a lead actress who couldn't be fired. Katheryn's determination paid off as she not only became a lead actress but also gained critical acclaim, placing her on the shortlist for major studios. In addition to her acting career, Katheryn's business acumen led her to own three Tae Kwon Do studios by the age of 21, providing financial stability while pursuing her acting dreams. Her participation in the first season of "The It Factor" helped her secure an influential theatrical agent, and her bold choices in auditions caught the attention of casting directors on both coasts. By keeping an audition journal, Katheryn gained self-awareness and insight into her strengths and weaknesses, allowing her to craft a courageous and thoughtful career. Alongside her role in Vikings, she can be seen in The Dark Tower alongside Matthew McConaughey and Idris Elba, as well as in the Call of Duty WWII video game.
