Join us as we sit down with actor, producer, and Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences staffer Brian Bell for a wide-ranging conversation about acting, producing, and staying grounded in a business full of unpredictability. Brian shares stories from decades in Los Angeles, including chatting about early acting classes and background work to on-set lessons learned from major productions and awards-season chaos. We dig into Brian's work, including Wolf Hollow, Cursed Waters, Devil’s Night, and the upcoming Grind follow-up, McQueen. Brian also offers practical advice for younger actors on rejection, self-tapes, and how to be a good on set.
