Brian Michael Smith joins In Full View to talk about trans masculine representation, creative resilience, and building the career you want. As the first openly Black trans man in a series regular role on network television, thanks to his role of Paul Strickland on 9-1-1: Lone Star, Brian shares his experiences in entertainment — the challenges, the wins, and the daily work of believing in yourself in an industry that doesn’t make space for trans masc creatives.
This episode speaks to anyone redefining success on their own terms. It’s rooted in queer joy, unapologetic truth, and the power of building a tangible plan for success
