  Today, we're diving into the incredible journey of Abubakar Salim, an actor who at just 16, gave himself a life-altering ultimatum: break into the National Youth Theatre or join the Army. From that high-stakes beginning, Abubakar has navigated the industry by constantly chasing the raw, unpolished instinct of his younger self. He shares how this philosophy carried him through a grueling nine-round audition process for Ridley Scott's Raised by Wolves and eventually into the world of House of the Dragon. We explore how he transitioned from a "performer for hire" to a visionary storyteller by founding Surgent Studios, where he now creates video games like Tales of Kenzera: ZAU to process deeply personal themes of grief and loss. Get ready for an inspiring conversation about the power of "just being," the importance of kindness in a brutal industry, and why the most successful auditions are often the ones where you stop trying to have a plan and start seeking discovery. These are the unforgettable stories that landed Abubakar Salim right here.

Whether he's a mysterious warden or finding the vulnerable lost boy inside a master villain, Johnny's story is a raw, hilarious, and inspiring masterclass in resilience and the power of simply keeping the motor going.

  Devan Chandler Long said it plainly — "It's embarrassing not to go for it. Because if you don't commit 100%, you fail 100%." This week we get brutally honest about the subtle ways actors hold back without even realizing it — the bold choice quietly walked back mid-scene, the perfectly safe take that lands like a thud — and we break down three specific things to check before you ever hit record. The bold swings that miss are never failures. They're the data that eventually books the room. This one is a gut check. The good kind.

  JOHN MAGARO: The Voyeuristic Actor 05.05.2026 1t 7min

  Welcome to an unforgettable episode where we dive deep into the "lottery" of the acting world with the remarkably talented John Magaro. Join us as John reveals how he transitioned from the "analytical bullshit" of conservatory training to a career defined by honesty and discovery, sharing the stage with icons like Nathan Lane and navigating the high-stakes sets of The Big Short and Orange is the New Black. John also shares how he revolutionized his own process by self-taping long before it was the industry standard, teaming up with producer and editor friends to rent professional studio space and use high-end cameras to ensure he was putting his best work forward. Whether you're a fan of his voyeuristic performances in First Cow or his heart-wrenching work in the Oscar-nominated Past Lives and his upcoming film Omaha, this conversation is a masterclass in building a "yellow brick road" of professional relationships while staying ruthlessly focused on the craft. These are the unforgettable stories that landed John Magaro right here. Credits: Materialists The Big Short Past Lives The Bride!
