It’s been a hot second, and today on In Love with the Process, host Mike Pecci goes deep into the real job of an actor.

Not the red carpets. Not the highlight reels. The actual work.

Joining Mike is actor Dan Shaked, known for his work across television and film including series like The German (2025), The Mysteries of Laura (2014) and Body of Proof (2011), and more. Dan pulls back the curtain on how he actually finds work, connects with casting directors, playwrights, and filmmakers, and builds momentum without waiting for permission.

They explore Dan’s “horizontal networking” approach, unconventional methods that go beyond submitting headshots and hoping for callbacks. These are practical, real world strategies that working actors use to stay employed and visible in a crowded industry.

If you are an actor, filmmaker, or anyone trying to break into a creative field, this episode is packed with honest insight, motivation, and tools you can start using immediately.
