Carey from ‘Carey OK!’ and ‘The Tom Cruisader’ , joins the podcast to discuss his career in musical theater, dealing with challenges and setbacks, and expat experiences in Asia.
The conversation begins with the fascinating and four year origin story of how Carey became ‘The TomCruisader’, into a philosophical discussion about how we can identify ourselves to be our most effective and authentic versions of one other, dealing with a large variety of people and different personalities, why rejection can often be an avenue into a more suitable path, (the example of film work vs voiceover), and motivations for pursuing an acting career.
One key question we ponder; Do you want to be an actor or do you want to be famous? The discussion then leads into a discussion on finding your intrinsic motivations for pursuing your work.
We go further into his show Carey: OK, an award-winning, all ages one-man acapella/beatboxing musical, using only looper tracks and vocally layering tracks live on stage, using subjects such as anxiety, social media and being a hero for others into an empowering and catchy hour of songs and story.
Towards the conclusion, there are insights into living without regrets, never losing a passion to produce your creative energy which you’re intrinsically born with, perhaps rather than mimicking, and leaving your mark, with a detailed description of the beauty of pro wrestling.
Carey’s time, enthusiasm and energy was enormously appreciated, and I think you’ll love this valuable conversation.
