All he cares about is LOVE! Broadway triple threat James T. Lane joins us this week to talk about his return to the long-running Broadway hit Chicago as Billy Flynn. James shares that after joining the Broadway company of King Kong, he was starting to seek more creative responsibility. “I’d look at all the great Billy Flynn’s we had over the years and even the understudies and saw what they were doing with it. I thought ‘the next time I come back, I’m coming as Billy Flynn. I set my mind to that and it’s finally happened.’”

James also talks about working with two-time Drag Race winner Jinkx Monsoon, his one-man show Triple Threat and the biggest lesson he’s learned playing Billy Flynn in Chicago.

Hollywood talent manager and career coach Wendy Alane Wright joins us to share a ton of guidance and advice for young actors who are eager to break into the entertainment industry. I’ve known Wendy for a couple of years through her TMFA (Talent Managers for Actors) Facebook group which she moderates, along with dozens of agents, managers, and working actors who share their expertise with actors who post their questions.

Wendy covers so much in this conversation, from headshot tips and marketing to business mindset and breaking down ‘dream chasing’. “I need [actors] to understand how serious they have to be about their dream if they want to make it happen. They have no room to quit. Let’s do all the things that are going to give you the most possible chance for success.”
