In this solo episode of Get Scene Unscripted, Jesse Malinowski breaks down the three biggest acting checks he’s received over the last decade and the specific lessons each job taught him.
After reviewing his SAG-AFTRA earnings going back to 2016, Jesse walks through:
A $15,000 pharmaceutical commercial buyout and why commercials can be career-changing
An Icy Hot commercial that proved one job can erase months of unpaid effort
A role on 24: Legacy that booked from a one-take self-tape done while traveling in Ireland
Along the way, Jesse talks honestly about:
Why flexibility matters more than talent in some auditions
How actors eliminate themselves by not being available
Why doing less in auditions can sometimes book more
The danger of over-taping and chasing “perfect” takes
When instincts work—and when they absolutely don’t
Why experience changes how you should approach auditions
This episode is a real breakdown of money, mindset, and mechanics—not hype, not shortcuts, just lived experience.
