In Episode 198, Trev and AJ talk about the power of filling the well – especially early in the day – and about Trev’s upcoming Climate Reality Leadership training.

Then Trev and AJ open the platinum-plated doors of the podcast archives to revive Part 2 of their long-ago chat with actress Emily Rose (Haven, Graceland, Uncharted), in which she shares why she feels it’s ideal to have both and agent and a manger (and what to look for when choosing), what her personal audition process and mindset is – from the moment she gets the script all the way to what she plans afterward, and what the most important thing to show the casting directors is… and it has nothing to do with the lines on the page. Total running time: 1:03:35.

Then Trev sits down for the third and final part of his interview with actor Doug Jones (Hell Boy, Falling Skies, Pan’s Labyrinth) – in which getting “pigeonholed” is a very good thing, why “if you don’t have anything to sell, don’t sell it yet,” the difference between turkeys, turds, and nuggets of gold, and how relationships, relationships, relationships are the true currency of every working actor’s career.
