Every actor’s timeline to a thriving career is different. With determination and hard work, you can build success in Hollywood no matter your age. 

Duncan Joiner is a very talented young actor who booked his first open-call commercial at age 3. Soon after his young start in the industry, Duncan booked guest roles on hit shows like “Community” and “Jane the Virgin”. Since then, Duncan has booked recurring roles on “We Bare Bears”, Fox's "Lethal Weapon," HBO's "Camping," Netflix's "Spirit Riding Free," and Paramount's "Waco”. Duncan was cast as a lead in Steven Spielberg's "Amazing Stories” and has become a series regular on Amazon's "Tales from the Loop.” 

In this episode, Duncan and I talk about his early start in the industry, what his advice is for young actors pursuing a career in Hollywood, what he has learned throughout his career, and much more. It has been incredible to watch Duncan’s growth as an actor since he came to the Manhattan Actor Studio and his advice is great for acting professionals of all ages.
