Actors With Issues with Juan Ayala

This week we are joined by Luke Cook (The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina), and Heather Morris (Glee), who talk all about the second season of the new scripted dark comedy podcast The Bystanders. The two talk with us about the podcast’s new season and the challenges that came with doing a comedy that was non-visual, the myth actors encounter that to be an actor it’s LA or bust, and how content creation, whether a TikTok or a short film, can help actors who are feeling stuck.

Television actor Martin Martinez joins us on the show this week to talk about his varied career that spans a dozen television series, including Freevee’s PRIMO, NBC’s Chicago PD, CBS’ NCIS: Hawai’i, and NBC’s Magnum P.I. 

Martin knew early on that he wanted to become a working actor and, thanks to the guidance and support of others, has been able to find success at the early age of 22, with over 30 episodes under his belt. Martin talks with us about his experience returning to Magnum P.I. after its CBS cancellation, what’s left on his career bucket list, and sharing advice for actors who are struggling to find their true passion.
