  • The Performance Psychcast - Episode 16 - Acting and Psychology - Scott Kyle

    Hello everyone and welcome to another episode on The Performance Psychcast. We are very fortunate to Welcome Scott Kyle or otherwise known as Ross from Outlander.

    We talk to Scott about the role of psychology and identity in his performances. This truly is a tale of determination and resilience.

    What I liked most about this conversation was the humbleness from Scott and his clear and powerful philosophy in life.
