Episode 3 — Marchant Davis: Choosing Roles & Facing the Industry’s Strange Truths

In this episode of In the Waiting Room w/ Rashad Edwards, actor Marchant Davis (The Day Shall Come, A Journal for Jordan) joins me for a raw and unfiltered conversation about how actors navigate the business behind the art.

We dive into:

• The metrics Marchant uses to decide which roles to take
• The strange reality of workshops — actors building shows without the promise of being cast when productions move forward
• The heartbreak and resilience it takes to keep going in this industry
• Why making choices aligned with your values matters more than ever

This is a must-listen for actors, artists, and anyone who’s ever wondered what it really takes to sustain a career in entertainment.
