AI, or artificial intelligence, is a top of mind subject nowadays. The Creator tells the story of a war between humans and AI in the future. Also, it's about how one man, Joshua, who's sent to spy on and destroy AI finds himself conflicted. Why? Because the ultimate AI weapon is a 6 year old little girl AI robot. After discovering that he just can't bring himself to kill her, they go on a journey with the military and AI forces all hunting them down. This is directed by Gareth Edwards who also directed the 2014 Godzilla movie and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Check out my spoiler-free review to see if it's worth watching at the theater. The Creator stars John David Washington, Madeleine Yuna Voyles, Gemma Chan, Allison Janney, Ken Watanabe, Sturgill Simpson, Amar Chadha-Patel, Marc Menchaca, Robbie Tann, Ralph Ineson, Michael Esper, Veronica Ngo, Ian Verdun, Daniel Ray Rodriguez.

Ian talks about overcoming the odds in the acting industry and how he pursued his career with grit and passion. Starting a career in acting can be a challenging journey, especially when faced with limited resources and societal biases. Despite having only $800 to his name and living in his car, Ian Verdun pursued his passion for acting and refused to let financial constraints and industry prejudice stop him. As a black actor who is also gay, he faced discrimination from both his skin color and sexual orientation, which were not fully accepted in the entertainment industry. But he persevered and worked various restaurant jobs to make ends meet, all the while writing pitch emails to casting directors and never losing sight of his dream. After ten long years of hard work and determination, he finally started to see some progress and even created and wrote his own pilot, Life's A Drag which ended up winning an award at Series Fest! Just when he thought he was at "rock bottom" an audition came along, and to his surprise, he booked it! This is a story of persistence, resilience, and the power of chasing your dreams no matter what obstacles come your way.

Today we are chatting with Ian Verdun, an actor and playwright, seen most recently on Freeform’s hit show SIREN. Ian was born and raised right here in Los Angeles, and graduated from Cal Arts where he studied acting, and also used much his time away from the stage writing his own plays. Today, he candidly shares his journey, from struggling to pay for school, to grinding in New York with multiple side jobs, all the way to booking his big break on SIREN. He generously shares his insight on the expanding diversity dialogue within the industry, how things have changed since he was stuck playing bit parts throughout school, and how, as a storyteller, he feels characters can and should be depicted by artists from every background. Verdun's past performances have been described as "brimming with grit and honesty" by Backstage, "quirkily charming" by Variety, and "finely nuanced" by LA Weekly. He has also been hailed by Stage Scene LA as the "brightest stage discovery of 2011". Ian continues to cut his teeth on the stages of New York and Los Angeles, along with writing and producing several plays himself. After appearing on ABC's Last Resort, TNT's Hawthorne and FOX's Lucifer, Ian threw his energy into his own television creation, Life's A Drag. Following years of experiencing the lackluster opportunities for diverse entertainers, Life's A Drag went on to win a number of awards in the burgeoning web festival circuit, including a special award for recognition in diversity.
