Grace has had it rough. She’s spent thousands on training and years in customer service. Like most actors her life is a perpetual cycle of waiting. Join Grace as she tries to uncover the mysteries of the industry and why she isn’t famous yet. Some may call this investigative journalism, others may call it a waste of breath. But who can blame her, she’s just trying to pass the time, while she sits in the waiting room.

    This week in The Actor’s Waiting Room, I’m joined by actor and host of the The 98% Podcast, Alexa Morden.

    Alexa has been speaking openly about the realities of the acting industry for years, creating space for honest conversations about the parts of this career that don’t always get talked about.

    In this episode, we chat about her work with The 98% Podcast, why these conversations matter for actors, and the importance of honesty, community, and perspective in an industry that can often feel isolating. We also talk about her new book Beyond the Spotlight, which explores the realities of the industry and encourages actors to think about their careers and identities beyond just the pursuit of the next role.

    This conversation ended up being such a good and wide-ranging discussion that we’ve split it into two parts; welcome back to Part Two.

    Find out more about Alexa’s coaching, and where to buy her book ‘Beyond The Spotlight’ HERE!

    This week in The Actor’s Waiting Room, I’m joined by actor and filmmaker Malcolm Modele.

    Before moving into acting and filmmaking, Malcolm served in the military, and in this conversation we talk about the journey that took him from that world into the creative industries.

    We also talk about his work both in front of and behind the camera, the realities of creating your own opportunities as an artist, and what it takes to carve out space for yourself in the industry.

    It’s an honest conversation about career shifts, creative independence, and finding your place in a challenging industry.
