Today, we’re sitting down with powerhouse actor Logan Marshall-Green, who has spent decades carving out an extraordinary career from the stage to the screen. His story begins with famously turning down a role in Terminator 3 in order to finish his MFA. In this episode, Logan takes us through his raw and honest journey, from battling intense imposter syndrome on the set of Ridley Scott’s Prometheus to eventually finding his camera “sea legs” and learning to trust himself on screen. We dive into what it was like to get into an unscripted, physical scrap with Richard Gere in Brooklyn’s Finest, direct the legendary Ethan Hawke in Adopt a Highway, share the screen with Al Pacino in Killing Castro, and step onto the epic scale of Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey. Plus, Logan shares his invaluable “walkaway” audition philosophy: a mindset that teaches artists how to let go, trust the work they’ve done, and keep moving forward.

These are the unforgettable stories that landed Logan Marshall-Green right here.

British American actor Guy Burnet is on a rare career streak that combines critical prestige and commercial success. He was most recently seen in Christopher Nolan’s Oscar-winning Oppenheimer, the highest-grossing biopic of all time and a film that redefined global awards conversations last year.

This fall, he stars opposite Jeff Daniels in Reykjavík, a political thriller recounting the 1986 Reagan-Gorbachev summit. He’ll also appear alongside Samuel L. Jackson in The Beast; an action feature centered on a covert military experiment gone wrong. Burnet recently wrapped a key role in Season 2 of Netflix’s hit FUBAR, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, and co-starred in the buzzy SXSW sci-fi feature Odyssey. He will star in Landman Season 2 premiering on November 16.

009 David Dastmalchian on That One Audition with Alyshia Ochse

David Dastmalchian
David Dastmalchian 1920 960 Alyshia Ochse

No Agent, No problem

Award winning actor, writer, producer, and filmmaker David Dastmalchian is known for bringing complex characters to life on screen in film and television, and penning raw, harrowing tales of flawed individuals from all walks of life. David has become one of the most in-demand talents in the entertainment industry today.

This year David will be heading to the DC Universe starring as the iconic Polka-Dot Man opposite Margot Robbie, Joel Kinnaman, John Cena, and Idris Elba in James Gunn’s “The Suicide Squad” (Warner Bros Pictures). The film follows super villains Harley Quinn, Bloodsport, Peacemaker, Polka-Dot Man, and a collection of nutty cons at Belle Reve prison who join the super-secret, super-shady Task Force X as they are dropped off at the remote, enemy-infused island of Corto Maltese. “The Suicide Squad” will debut in theaters on August 6, 2021. Next, David will star in Legendary Studio/Warner Bros’ upcoming blockbuster adaptation of Frank Herbert’s bestselling sci-fi novel “Dune,” playing Piter De Vries opposite Timothée Chalamet, Oscar Isaac, Rebecca Ferguson, Dave Bautista, and Josh Brolin. Directed by Denis Villeneuve, this visually stunning, sci-fi masterpiece is slated for release on October 1, 2021.

Originally from Kansas, David was discovered by Christopher Nolan nearly a decade ago, making his silver screen debut in the iconic, award winning feature “The Dark Knight,” which launched his career from the stage, to film and television. Since then, David has been hand-picked for dynamic roles by critically acclaimed directors including: David Lynch, Denis Villeneuve, James Gunn, two-time Cannes winner Michel Franco, Sam Taylor Johnson, and Susanne Bier (to name a few). Previous film credits include: Sam Taylor-Johnson’s directed film adaptation of “A Million Little Pieces,” Academy Award nominated feature “Prisoners,” (Warner Bros.) Disney/Marvel’s “Ant-Man” and “Ant-Man and the Wasp,” “Birdbox” opposite Sandra Bullock for Netflix, “The Domestics” for MGM, “Blade Runner 2049” for Warner Bros. opposite Ryan Gosling and Robin Wright, indie horror-thriller “The Belko Experiment” opposite Michael Rooker and John C. McGinley, and “Relaxer,” written and directed by Joel Potrykus.

While working in film and television keeps David busy, he recently collaborated with Dark Horse Comics to turn his childhood passion of creating a comic book series into a reality, with the launch of “Count Crowley: Reluctant Midnight Monster Hunter.” Written by David and illustrated by Lukas Ketner, the comic follows Jerri Bartman, a once rising TV journalist who has returned to her small Midwest hometown TV station. Demoted to hosting the nightly Creature Feature, Jerri’s professional humiliation is eclipsed by the discovery that her new job comes with a secret, supernatural duty. Her missing predecessor, Count Crowley, was one of the last “appointed” hunters of monsters. Monsters are real, and they’re hell-bent on controlling the news and information consumed by humans. All issues of “Count Crowley” are available online and at comic stores nationwide.

“You can’t chase money… you’re not being inspired to be creative.”

“The key to being an actor is to make sure you remember live.”

“I don’t believe in making decisions about how I plan to behave when someone says action. I do believe in learning, internalizing physicality, voice, and everything so clearly that you turn up and are ready for it.”

QUOTES:

“If I’m not 100 percent me in the role, I can’t be authentic in my acting…Even if it’s a different character, I have to make it myself.”

“I had this light bulb moment…My ego is so obsessed with result that I’m missing the actual point of all of this, which is knowledge, and learning and joy.”

“I guess through teaching it made me relax and just kind of surrender to the moment.”

“As actors we are so much validating ourselves by the measure of our success, and the measure of the success of others, and I was measuring my talent by how successful I was, and that is a slippery slope, man.”

“If you want to be a good actor I think you have to learn who you are first, before you can be anybody else.”
