Go Deeper

If this one hit home, that's the kind of conversation we go deeper on.

Doing the Work is a weekly Patreon segment where I share what I'm actually working through — the same kind of stuff Tom Payne and I just got into. You're invited to do the same. Come hang.

New conversation every Tuesday.

Tom Payne (The Walking Dead, Prodigal Son) joins us this week to share his journey in becoming an actor along with the unique pride and sacrifices he’s made to fully invest in his career coming over to America. Tom shares difficult lessons he’s had to learn about managing expectations, after certain projects that he believed were shoe-ins didn’t live up in the eyes of fans or people in the industry. We also talk about his nerves while joining the biggest show at the time in The Walking Dead, the differences in traffic violations in the UK and US, and how unfortunately we often don’t make changes until we hit rock bottom.
