There is a time to ad-lib and a time to stay in your lane, and in the acting profession, it’s more often the latter than not. This is but one of the pieces of wisdom that DB Sweeney has to impart to us after many decades in the business. Having starred in such films as Gardens of Stone (1987), Eight Men Out (1988), and The Cutting Edge (1992), as well as in numerous television shows and sitcoms, this prolific actor has proven his versatility across genres and roles. Having been in business for so long, he also carries around sobering lessons that actors who are just starting to hone their craft might want to heed. Joining Rich Redmond and co-host Jason Sutter on the show, DB shares some of the defining moments in his career as an actor, voiceover artist, and recently as a writer, director, and producer. He also shares some of his reflections on the impact of COVID-19 on the film industry and what Hollywood and film distribution may look like in the future.
