Inside Acting

Episode 248: Craig Ballantyne (Part 2)

In Episode 248, Trev and AJ kick off a somewhat philosophical discussion about the actor / casting director relationship—that is to say, it’s all about collaboration: good actors make casting directors look good. Then they respond to a listener question about staying the course versus diversifying the toolset, before sitting down for Part 2 of their chat with productivity and success transformation coach Craig Ballantyne.

And get ready: there is a TON of actionable wisdom in this interview—including Craig’s 5 Pillars of Success, how and why process goals are an absolutely crucial part of achieving outcome goals, what the “3 C Formula” is and why structure equals freedom, what one of Craig’s typical “perfect days” look like, and a truckload of wisdom and tips for how you can create your perfect day. Total running time: 1:02:09.

Episode 247: Craig Ballantyne (Part 1)

In Episode 247, AJ recaps just how specific and physical his work on NCIS:LA was—and how fun. Then he and Trev offer their thoughts on the whole “art versus money” conundrum, before sitting down for Part 1 of their chat with productivity and success transformation coach Craig Ballantyne.

You guys remember that book called The Perfect Day Formula Trev couldn’t shut up about? Yeah—Craig wrote that.

Craig’s not an actor, or even in the entertainment industry, but the productivity and success principles he’s put together can make a massive difference in the lives of anyone. In Part 1, we talk about how Craig got his start, intuitively learning and adjusting his approach to life and business until one day, he looked up and was the Editor-in-Chief of EarlyToRise.com. We talk about how to overcome anxiety, why everyone should have a personal success coach, and a easy mindset shift that’ll help you conquer any obstacle. Total running time: 55:48.

Episode 246: Chin Han (Part 2)

In Episode 246, AJ catches us up on his shoot and some career strategy talk before Trev sits down with actor Chin Han to round out their discussion about his journey—including the eight years of doing what he *thought* would be the rest of his career, and the fortuitous chance he took, at the urging of his family and friends, that changed everything for him. He also shares how he built his own personal support community (and why it’s important to keep it diverse), why type-casting and limitations are something to be celebrated, and why all life is practice. Total running time: 55:51.

Episode 245: Chin Han (Part 1)

In Episode 245, AJ shares some awesome news – work begets work – and he and Trev chat about some of the ins and outs of joining the union.

Then Trev sits down for Part 1 of his conversation with actor Chin Han (Independence Day: Resurgence, The Dark Night, Contagion, Marco Polo) to discuss his very unlikely – and synchronous – journey from Singaporean economics student, to regional theatre and TV stardom, to regular working  Hollywood actor with some of the industry’s biggest names. Fear, self-doubt, trusting that we’re enough – it all plays a role, because it’s all part of the process. Total running time: 55:28.
