"24: Legacy" is the latest project for a very busy Dan Bucatinsky, whom you probably know from ABC's Scandal, for which he won an Emmy, or HBO's The Comeback. He also runs a successful production company with Lisa Kudrow. We'll dive into his new role; plus a review of the final season of "Bates Motel," and a look at the week's premieres.
For those of you old enough to remember when Seinfeld was on the air live, it was very sad to see it end. I'll admit it...I cried during "The Clip Show." (Admit it, you did to). In this episode I had the pleasure of interviewing Emmy Winning Editor, Director, and Producer David Rogers, the editor behind the magic of that episode, as well as the main editor (as well as director and producer) of both The Office and currently The Mindy Project. In addition he has also worked on shows such as Newsradio, HBO's The Comeback, and Entourage (and he’s a huge comic book and sci-fi geek too). David and I examine his body of work and his career path and really break down how he was able to reach such a high level in his sector of the industry despite having such jobs as the host of an Italian restaurant, and even working as a production PA scraping up cigarette butts off the pavement at the end of a 14 hour day of shooting. You want to talk about paying your dues? This guy paid his and then some. We break down David's success into the key components that you can follow to ultimately reach success in this industry as well. Topics of Conversation: David Roger's origins and path to working in the industry How Superman influenced Rogers to pursue filmmaking David's approach to directing an episode of 'The Office' Transitioning from editing to directing and producing Being persistent to stay in control of your career trajectory Learning to cope during periods of unemployment How David got his big break editing Seinfeld Roger's relationship with Greg Daniels and the flexible, creative atmosphere of 'The Office' Knowing when to take risks and turn down work to further your goals How David manages time to edit as well as produce and direct Breaking into the industry by mastering your craft and being persistent in the face of rejection David's experience on 'The Mindy Project' Useful Links: David Rogers' Site Athletic Greens FiP Question Submission Optimize Yourself Program FiP Amazon Storefront FiP Ep56: Advancing Your Career in Post (What They Don't Teach in Film School), Pt.1 Fip Ep57: Advancing Your Career in Post (What They Don't Teach in Film School), Pt.2 Guest Bio: When David Rogers was 8 years old, he saw Superman The Movie on the silver screen and knew from that point on what he wanted to do with his life. It wasn't to be a superhero, but rather he was on the path to becoming a Film and Television Director. He shot his own movies with kids from the neighborhood, videotaped Weddings and Bar Mitzvahs on weekends, graduated from Ithaca College with a degree in Cinema and Photography and soon after moved out to Hollywood to make his dream a reality. His first job in television was as the Assistant Editor on Seinfeld and his first solo editing credit was Seinfeld The Chronicle, the clip show which aired right before the season finale. He went on to edit NewsRadio, Andy Richter Controls the Universe, The Comeback, Entourage, and The Office, has directed multiple episodes of the show including the hour-long penultimate episode A.A.R.M., and has directed various other shows including Parks and Recreation, The Mindy Project, The Hard Times of RJ Berger and Friends with Benefits. David currently serves as a Director/Editor/Co-Executive Producer on another show he loves, The Mindy Project, and looks forward to new new directing challenges as well as developing his own projects.

Laura Silverman plays Jane on the HBO series, "The Comeback" which had its season finale on Dec 28. The series was created by Michael Patrick King and Lisa Kudrow. I realize that not everybody who reads this is old enough to remember how most of us came to know Kudrow. For those not in the know, Kudrow played "Phoebe" on the acclaimed series "Friends." In "The Comeback" she plays Valerie Cherish, an embarrassing actress with a thirst for the big time, even when it wants nothing to do with her. Once a star, and not so much anymore, she tries to revive her career by doing a documentary about her life. She hires a student film crew and has the highest of hopes in pitching the final edited documentary to Bravo. Jane was the producer of this tanking documentary. She's mostly heard off camera, being snapped at by Varelie. This series was first filmed in 2009 and was canceled after one season. Behold, the suits wanted it brought back and it airs a second and final season in 2014. In season 2, Jane has since grown into a serious documentary filmmaker. But Valerie is back at her door. With one last request. Should we mention that Laura Silverman is also Sarah Silverman's older sister? In this conversation, Laura and maDCap chat about various topics: her background in Bedford, NH, her early literary days and the "O'Connor Cons," and of course her character Jane on HBO's The Comeback. https://twitter.com/LauraJSilverman
