This episode of the Second Act Actors podcast features filmmaker Jordan, who spent 4 weeks documenting the daily lives and struggles of the people of Ukraine at the beginning of the Russian invasion. He tells me about his experiences there and his lasting memories in this interesting interview. 

Jordan and I also talk about acting and he tells me about how he got into acting through community theatre plays with his daughter. We discuss how Jordan fits acting around his day job and what he brings from his role as a project manager into acting. It turns out that being very organised helps a lot! Listen out for how he combines his acting skills and business knowledge to move his acting career forward and for his advice on how to balance acting with another career, particularly if you’re relying on your other job to earn money. 

Our conversation also covers type casting and acting unions, with Jordan explaining why he joined an actors’ union and whether it’s been worth it so far. 

If you enjoyed listening to Jordan and I talk about auditions, acting with beards and more, then subscribe to the Second Act Actors podcast to hear more interviews with talented, funny actors.
