That One Audition with Alyshia Ochse

Our guest today is Canadian born actor Cameron Britton. He’s best known for his captivating and dynamic portrayal of serial killer Ed Kemper on Netflix’s series Mindhunter which earned him a Primetime Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series. His recent credits include the crime thriller The Girl in the Spider’s Web and Netflix’s The Umbrella Academy. You can also catch him in Discovery Channel’s new series Manhunt alongside other such memorable talents as Paul Bettany and Judith Light. Cameron says himself that he doesn’t like acting often, doesn’t go after the money, and only takes roles he’s invested in. He says “no” all the time. “No,” he believes, is the most powerful word in an actor’s vocabulary. But before that, he said “yes” to everything. He honed his craft at AMDA and doing theatre around Los Angeles where he felt safe to experiment. His stories may save you from vomiting in a lobby, help you get to the heart of a character’s actions, and may even help you nail that next agent meeting. By the way, Cameron *loves* doing self-tapes and offers a few pointers on why you could love them too.

Over the course of his 35 year career, Chris Diamantopoulos has built an expansive body of work in the entertainment industry from Broadway theater, to voice acting, to television and film work. Inspired in his early years by Moe of The Three Stooges, Chris knew he wanted to be an actor from the age of 9. Today, we sit down with Chris as he reveals how his transformative voice skills lead him to the Broadway stage in his twenties, and onward to Los Angeles where he landed roles in some of comedy’s biggest cartoon series. His credits include roles on Family Guy, American Dad!, The Office, 24, Arrested Development and the beloved character of Russ Hanneman on HBO’s Silicon Valley. Chris admits that he often found himself doing the things we as actors are told you’re not supposed to do in the audition room, but reveals how doing so often landed him the job by making bold and clear choices, even when productions already had someone else in mind for the part. He shares with us the valuable lessons he’s learned over the years about hoping to be discovered and the realization that ultimately in the end, you gotta have some fun.

Today, I welcome Malin Akerman into the hot seat. Not only has this fearless beauty starred in countless blockbuster films like WATCHMEN, 27 DRESSES, and RAMPAGE, she also has explored- and conquered- the indie film world and is now producing her own content. But how did this modern-day movie star really get her start? In this episode, we pull back the curtain on what it’s like to go from- within a year- being broke and sleeping on a futon while fronting a rock band, to booking a series regular role on HBO’s The Comeback. Find out how she handled being asked to improvise on the spot in a chemistry read with Ben Stiller (for the lead in the Farrelly Brother’s THE HEARTBREAK KID) and her fight to be considered for deeper, more nuanced roles like Annie, a woman with alopecia in HAPPY THANK YOU MORE PLEASE and Lara, a strong mother amidst the chaos in HBO’s BILLIONS.

From bringing diverse, powerful characters to life on the screen, to writing scripts for one of the most successful television series on Netflix, Brandon Kyle Goodman has emerged in the entertainment industry as a powerful force with a voice to be reckoned with. This summer, Goodman can be seen starring in Netflix’s upcoming feature film, “Feel the Beat,” opposite Sofia Carson. The drama follows an out-of-work actress, April (Carson), who returns to her small hometown after failing to find success on Broadway and is soon recruited to train a misfit group of young dancers for a big competition. Goodman shines as the outspokenly brave, queer Deco, April’s neighbor and support system while she adjusts returning to her country life. “Feel the Beat” is slated to premiere on Netflix on June 19, 2020.

She’s the actress who's been in just about everything. You know that actor whose face you know like the back of your hand and whose work never fails to leave you wondering just how do they do it. Well get ready to be let in on the light that is Rosalind Chao. Listening to this woman share about her journey her childlike play spirit shines through. It’s no wonder she was discovered as a small child running up and down the aisles of her parent’s restaurant. Rosalind has allowed herself to flow from theatre to TV to film and back again. She’s not shy about her struggles with self-doubt and fear but it is her work ethic that is unwavering. Even more impressive than her five-decade long resume is her determination to keep her personal life the priority. This woman lives from trust and abundance. It’s no wonder she just keeps working. She is the consummate actor who most recently appeared in the new play The Great Wave at The National Theatre in London just before she began shooting Disney’s live action Mulan scheduled to open in theatres this July. Listen and soak up her sense of freedom with the work and healthy detachment to the business. A lesson we all can keep learning. I admire this woman deeply and am thrilled to share the wealth of her wide breadth of experience.   Guest links: IMDB: Rosalind Chao INSTAGRAM: @chao_time TWITTER: @rosalindchao For exclusive content surrounding this and all podcast episodes, sign up for our amazing newsletter at AlyshiaOchse.com.

Today’s guest has put in his 10,000 hours and then some. As he says, he’s marked his spot. We’re talking with Maximiliano Hernandez, who’s an actor, writer, producer, and teacher. Many of you will know him for his role as Agent Jasper Sitwell in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He’s appeared in Thor, The Avengers, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Avengers: Endgame, as well as Marvel’s hit TV show Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. His journey began in Brooklyn and continued to the stage in New York City before moving on to a prolific career in film and television. His credits range from TV dramas like FX’s The Americans, TNT’s The Last Ship, Amazon’s Hand of God, and Audience Network’s Mr. Mercedes. As well as critically acclaimed films like Sicario and Warrior. He shares how being dyslexic is one of his superhero talents, how being a ‘nice guy’ can seal the deal, and how important it is to stay open, stay prepared, and to let go of how we think things should happen. That’s when the magic can happen.

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2020, SAG-AFTRA members will be voting either “Yes” or “No” on the proposed 2020 TV/Theatrical Contract. While the SAG-AFTRA National Board has been pushing for a “Yes” vote from members, today’s guests will discuss the ways in which they feel the union has failed to disclose the whole story and exactly what this contract will mean for performers in the entertainment industry moving forward. In our current COVID-19 world, the need for performers has only increased as people turn to film and television for relief during an ongoing global health pandemic. Today, I sit down with actors and longtime SAG-AFTRA members, David Jolliffe, Sean Astin, and Shaan Sharma as they discuss the intricacies of the contract and how it lead to the development of the “Get Out the No” campaign in an effort to educate voters about the various ways in which the contract will affect performers in terms of income and residual payments, health and pension considerations, on set safety provisions and much more. With so much still unknown as to when the film industry will reopen and resume work, today’s conversation is an important one. It brings into question how we as actors can continue to make a living as performers from the early stages of our careers, to well into our older years. Today’s guests are advocating for union members to be given what they deserve as valued members of the industry and ask us to consider the question, “At what point do you finally say no?” Guest links: WEBSITE: DissentingOpinion2020.com INSTAGRAM: @do2020voteno TWITTER: @do2020voteno FACEBOOK: /DissentingOpinion2020 IMDB: David Jolliffe IMDB: Sean Astin IMDB: Shaan Sharma For exclusive content surrounding this and all podcast episodes, sign up for our amazing newsletter at AlyshiaOchse.com.

In today’s episode we’re chatting with Ben Barnes. This British actor (and skilled musician) has charmed audiences as the heroic prince in The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian and surprised them as the enigmatic Logan Delos in HBO’s science fiction thriller Westworld. His love for storytelling began early: on stage performing with the National Youth Music Theatre. Since then his career has told the story of an artist who possesses true grit, a love for craft, and a desire to explore whatever he hasn’t done. He shares how blind persistence landed him his first agent, and how a secret injury helped him create one of his most recognizable roles. For Ben, perspective and perseverance is key. Moving through the peaks and valleys of this industry requires trusting what you have to offer and choosing to be empowered regardless of circumstance. And that’s exactly what Ben continues to do. His work includes an array of diverse film and TV credits such as Easy Virtue, By The Gun, Seventh Son, Big Wedding, Sons of Liberty, The Punisher, Gold Digger and a lead role on Netflix’s soon to be series Shadow and Bone.
