In this episode of Get Scene Unscripted, Jesse Malinowski sits down with a recurring guest and working actor to talk honestly about momentum, flexibility, and why working actors often say yes to projects others would turn down.

They break down real career scenarios, including:

• Taking local, lower-budget work even after major credits

• Why being on set beats waiting for the “perfect” job

• The mental and emotional toll of dry spells

• How momentum impacts confidence, auditions, and relationships with reps

• When turning down work is empowering — and when it isn’t

• Why every acting job is a separate hire, not a linear ladder

The conversation reframes what “moving forward” actually looks like in an acting career and why rigid standards can quietly stop actors from working.
