Creating Behavior with Charlie Sandlan

064 Knocking Down Doors

Having a strong belief in yourself, refusing to give into a woe is me mentality, and having the temerity to really go after what you want is incredibly important if you are trying to carve out an artistic career. This week Charlie talks to his former student Rolando Chusan, who booked his first series regular role on the ABC series Promised Land.  Rolando discusses how he got this part, and the many things he's learned about being a professional actor over the past decade.

060 Your Dreams Can Come True

Every actor has those big dreams. The ones that make your heart skip a beat every time you fantasize about them. The big break. Imagine celebrating your best friends big break as a series regular on the SyFy hit show Resident Alien, and then end up booking the same show for all ten episodes of season one. This week Charlie talks to Meredith Garretson about the show, about what she's learned about comedy, and how going to grad school changed the course of her career. But that's not all. Meredith shares how she is approaching playing a living legend, Ali Macgraw, in the upcoming Paramount+ limited series The Offer, based on  the making of The Godfather. An amazing conversation on the artistry of creating behavior for a living.
