Podcasts about lead actors

In this episode of Mission Matters, ⁠Adam Torres⁠ interviews ⁠Luke Tennie⁠ and ⁠Noam Shapiro⁠, Lead Actors, Producers & Writers at Dirty Coffee Pictures, about their award-winning short film JADE and its FilmShortage streaming premiere (January 14th). They share how they collaborated from a fast-writing process to a polished short designed as a calling card—and how they're using the release to build momentum toward a potential series. About ⁠Luke Tennie⁠ Luke Tennie grew up in South Florida, the youngest of three. Upon graduating from The American Musical and Dramatic Academy in 2016, Luke booked his very first film audition, Shock & Awe (alongside: Tommy Lee Jones, Woody Harrelson, James Marsden) with Rob Reiner at the helm. Since then, his career has become a steady crescendo as he's gone on to star in Deadly Class (Benedict Wong, Lana Condor), Snowfall, Safety (Disney+), CSI: Vegas, Players (Paramount+), and most recently Shrinking, written by the Emmy-award winning team of Ted Lasso, Brett Goldstein & Bill Lawrence as well as Jason Segel, starring none other than Harrison Ford in his television debut on AppleTV+.” About ⁠Noam Shapiro⁠ Noam is a native New Yorker, currently based in the Bronx. He previously held a decade-long rap career, where he learned the basics of stage-craft, rhythm, and storytelling. Noam has worked on The Marvelous Mrs Maisel, The Kill Room (opposite Samuel L. Jackson & Uma Thurman), American Horror Story, Lady In The Lake (opposite Natalie Portman), Powerbook II: Ghost, and Let The Right One In.” Noam is an acting professor at AMDA NY. About ⁠Dirty Coffee Pictures⁠ Dirty Coffee Pictures, founded by Luke Tennie and Noam Shapiro, is an independent film production company. The company creates stories that allow it to navigate in the gray—focusing on the nuance of people's experiences. Its stories are character-driven, humorous, and dramatic. Luke Tennie and Noam Shapiro deeply value collaboration. They encourage people to speak up when they have ideas and believe the best idea should always win, with the shared goal of telling the most compelling story possible. This interview is part of our AFM 2025 Series. Big thank you to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠American Film Market⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ !

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for December 30, 2025. 0:30 We kick off today’s show with a major legal showdown as the U.S. Department of Justice takes aim at the state of Virginia over immigration and college tuition policy. We break down how Virginia law allows students without legal immigration status to qualify for discounted tuition if they attended Virginia schools, even as law-abiding U.S. citizens from states like West Virginia or North Carolina are forced to pay more. These benefits directly violate federal law, which prohibits states from offering post-secondary education benefits to illegal immigrants unless those same benefits are provided to all U.S. citizens on identical terms. It's a test of the Supremacy Clause and federal authority over immigration, and these policies normalize lawlessness one benefit at a time. 10:00 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. US Attorney General Pam Bondi said this week that the DOJ has already indicted 98 people with fraud in Minnesota this year. A federal judge has ruled that the Trump Administration does not have the authority to block funding to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. President Trump will become the first non-Israeli to be awarded the Israel Prize. 12:30 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 We dig into the unraveling scandal surrounding fraudulent daycare operations in Minnesota. As scrutiny intensifies, the focus turns to empty daycare centers—previously exposed by independent reporting— that are now suddenly filled with children, raising serious questions about timing and credibility. 16:00 The American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson don’t hold back on this one. They take on the question of why it suddenly feels like everyone has a disability—and whether it’s about real need or working the system. While acknowledging legitimate conditions that truly require accommodations, they zero in on what they see as a disturbing trend: elite college students claiming disability status for special treatment, extra time, exemptions, and advantages. This isn’t about compassion anymore—it’s about entitlement. A culture that rewards victimhood, hands out loopholes, and teaches young people that being “broken” is a badge of honor. Comparing today’s mindset to the grit and pride of earlier generations, the Mamas warn that intelligence without ethics is dangerous, and a society that incentivizes weakness shouldn’t be surprised when responsibility, character, and resilience disappear. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 Protests are breaking out across multiple cities in Iran as the country's economy spirals. The national currency has collapsed to record lows against the U.S. dollar, inflation has surged past 40 percent, and everyday life is becoming increasingly unlivable for ordinary Iranians. 24:30 Plus, we give director and actor Steven Grayhm a call. His film Sheepdog, is set to release nationwide on January 16, centered on the unseen battles of PTSD and the long-term cost of military service. Grayhm spent years traveling the country, listening to veterans, Gold Star families, and mental-health professionals, determined to tell their stories without political spin or Hollywood gloss. The result, he says, is a “love letter” to those who wore the uniform and the families who carried the burden alongside them. 32:00 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 According to newly revealed information, more than $5 billion in HUD rental assistance payments during the final year of the Biden administration were flagged as questionable or improper—an eye-popping figure that immediately raises red flags. According to newly revealed information, more than $5 billion in HUD rental assistance payments during the final year of the Biden administration were flagged as questionable or improper—an eye-popping figure that immediately raises red flags. The most jaw-dropping detail: over 30,000 of those payments allegedly went to people who were already deceased. 35:30 New data shows Bible sales in the United States are booming, with double-digit growth two years in a row, and that's a Bright Spot. The resurgence isn’t limited to Bible sales alone. Church attendance is rising, especially among young people, with Catholic parishes seeing growth even in major cities like New York—places long declared spiritually dead by the secular elite. Add in the historic election of the first American pope, and the signs of a broader faith revival are hard to miss. 39:30 Here’s something that stopped us in our tracks: Charlie Kirk was the most searched name in the world in 2025. Not just in the United States—globally. More than any other news story, more than any other headline, Charlie Kirk topped Google search inquiries worldwide. 41:00 And we finish off today's episode with the most popular New Year's resolutions.

The Emmys hit Sunday September 14 and on this episode of The Rehashables we are loaded with takes. We gush about Nate Bargatze hosting, run category by category, and make bold but lovable picks. The Studio to headline comedy with Seth Rogen vs Jason Segel for Lead Actor, Jean Smart and Jessica Williams lurking, Brian Cranston and Zoe Kravitz for those scene stealing cameos. On drama we are backing Severance to sweep, show love to Andor, size up White Lotus, Paradise, The Pit, Diplomat, and Slow Horses. Limited Series race is Adolescence vs The Penguin, Colin Farrell and Cristin Milioti get flowers, and teen phenom Owen Cooper is our "dont overthink it" pick. We close with watchlist fuel HBOs Task, Alien: Earth, Peacemaker Season 2, Netflix's Unknown Sender Catfish, and a quick Stephen King detour The Long Walk. Football all day, Emmys all night, lets argue.

Ted Zurkowski in conversation with David Eastaugh https://www.tedzurkowski.com/ https://www.honeywestmusic.com/ted-zurkowski.php An acclaimed member of New York's acting community, Ted Zurkowski is a Lifetime Member of the Actors Studio. He's also been playing in bands and composing songs since his tender, pre-shaving years. In 1994, he and fellow Studio member Lynnea Benson founded the venerable Frog & Peach Theatre Company, one of New York's most popular Shakespeare ensembles. A man of many talents, Ted sometimes found himself serving as Frog & Peach's Lead Actor; sometimes as Director, often as a Producer, and frequently, as a Composer. With a burgeoning musical career, and a great many fish to fry, Ted bid farewell to theatre to return to his first love: playing music and writing songs full time. In 2017, he joined with British rock and roll legend Ian McDonald (King Crimson, Foreigner) to form the band Honey West, releasing their debut album, "Bad Old World".

For the 2025 Emmy Awards, several worthy nominees are debated by podcast hosts Bubba & Catfish. If you're a fan of their old-school petty sniping at each other, you'll love this one. Emmy voter Catfish seemingly closes his eyes to pick terrible winners. With the patience of a saint, Bubba listens to the inane choices before finally blowing a gasket about an hour into the pod. #Emmys #EmmyAwards #Emmys2025 #EmmyNoms #nominations #nominees #PrimetimeEmmyAwards  Discussion: 00:00 Intro 04:55 Lead Actor in a Comedy Series 08:48 Lead Actor in a Drama Series 13:51 Lead Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie 17:29 Lead Actress in a Comedy Series 21:21 Lead Actress in a Drama Series 23:23 Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie 25:13 Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series 28:30 Supporting Actor in a Drama Series 31:25 Supporting Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie 33:55 Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series 37:01 Narrator  38:07 Character Voice Over Performance 40:01 Supporting Actress in a Drama Series 41:49 Supporting Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie 43:46 Guest Actor Comedy 45:38 Guest Actor Drama 48:25 Guest Actress Comedy 49:46 Guest Actress Drama 52:18 Performer in a Short Form Series 53:55 Host for a Reality Program 55:28 Host for a Game Show 56:55 Outstanding Comedy Series 58:08 Outstanding Drama Series 1:04:03 Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series 1:06:02 Outstanding Television Movie 1:06:43 Outstanding Talk Series 1:07:19 Outstanding Scripted Variety Series 1:08:13 Outstanding Live Variety Special 1:10:19 Outstanding Vareity Special Pre-Recorded 1:10:50 Outstanding Short Form Special 1:11:26 Outstanding Short Form Non Fiction 1:12:24 Outstanding Hosted Non-Fiction Special 1:13:31 Outstanding Structured Reality Show 1:14:18 Outstanding Unstructured Reality Show 1:15:15 Outstading Reality Competition Program 1:16:57 Outstanding Game Show Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series Adam Brody – Nobody Wants This as Noah Roklov (Netflix) Seth Rogen – The Studio as Matt Remick (Apple TV+) Jason Segel – Shrinking as Jimmy Laird (Apple TV+) Martin Short – Only Murders in the Building as Oliver Putnam (Hulu) Jeremy Allen White – The Bear as Carmen "Carmy" Berzatto (FX) Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series Sterling K.

In this episode of 'Need Some Introduction,' hosts explore the new Dennis Lehane TV series 'Smoke' on Apple TV+. They discuss the show's mixed critical reception and delve into episodes one through three, comparing 'Smoke' to Lehane's previous series 'Blackbird.' Darren and Victor provide detailed analyses of the characters, plot developments, and their own theories regarding potential twists and constructs within the story, such as the possibility that what the audience sees might be the fictional narrative of a book written by the protagonist.

In this episode of the No Film School Podcast, GG Hawkins hosts a conversation with filmmakers Annapurna Sriram ("Fucktoys") and Alex Burunova ("Satisfaction"). Fresh from their South by Southwest premieres, they open up about the challenges and triumphs of making their first feature films independently. From the loneliness of directing to finding creative collaborators, the trio shares the real, raw experience of being “in the thick of it” during production and beyond. In this episode, No Film School's GG Hawkins and guests discuss... Why making a first feature feels like living on an island — literally and metaphorically The emotional rollercoaster of independent filmmaking and the power of perseverance The origins of "Fucktoys" and "Satisfaction," and how personal experiences inspired the films Casting without “named talent” and the importance of authentic performances How microbudget hacks, from thrift store shopping to strategic returns, kept productions alive The importance of finding your “spiritual warriors” (aka collaborators who get it) How to carry the lessons of your first feature into your next project Memorable Quotes: “If you can see all the heartbreak ahead, I don't know that anybody would climb the mountain.” “You're not the first person to deal with a catastrophe — every person deals with it.” “Be a scout. Be a badass. Discover undiscovered talent.” “The gap in the teeth leads to the heart. It's all a map.” Guests: Annapurna Sriram (Director, Writer, Lead Actor of Fucktoys) Alex Burunova (Director, Writer of Satisfaction) Resources: Fucktoys on Instagram: @fucktoysthemovie Satisfaction on Instagram: @satisfactionfilm I Really Love My Husband on Instagram: @ireallylovemyhusbandmovie Find No Film School everywhere: On the Web: No Film School Facebook: No Film School on Facebook Twitter: No Film School on Twitter YouTube: No Film School on YouTube Instagram: No Film School on Instagram

The Lead Actor is about to appear. The drama was being performed exactly as written, with Judas, Caiaphas, Pilate, and even Pilate's wife playing their parts perfectly. If you're familiar with Matthew's Gospel, you know that he's driven to tie the events of Jesus' life back to the Scriptures. The text of this play was written by the Prophets. But at the climax of the drama, in Matthew 27, the Main Character has a non-speaking role.

Movie director Jon Erwinis someone who has had great success over the years. From October Baby way back in 2011 to Jesus Revolution and back to I Can Only Imagine, the Birmingham, Alabama native has always had a knack for finding and telling stories that resonate with people deeply for their foundational family values told through the lens of faith.Erwin is also someone who is a collector and keeper of past memories that have developed into projects he is passionate about. One needs to look no further than his 2023 releaseJesus Revolution starring Kelsey Grammer and Jonathan Roumie. Intrigued by a 1966 Time Magazine cover stating “Is God Dead?”, Erwin carried around the magazine in his computer bag for nearly a decade before turning that base idea into the aforementioned movie that generated $54 million at the box office.His latest passion project is a new 8-episode limited series currently airing on Amazon Prime called House of David. Stemming from a vivid memory he had visiting Israel with his father at age 16, Erwin thought that one day he could make a sweeping, visually spectacular recreation on the life of King David from the Old Testament.Starring Broadway actor Michael Iskander, Ali Suliman, Ayelet Zurer, and Stephen Lang, House of David tells the story of the ascent of the aforementioned beloved Biblical figure, who eventually becomes the most renowned and celebrated king of Israel.Erwin and Iskander join us on the podcast to discuss the critical importance of Biblical accuracy in retelling David's story, why this popular figure of the Old Testament is considered the first superhero in human history, and how this project humbled each of them.

Another blockbuster action flick from Michael Bay, and probably his most excellent movie!  A disgruntled General and some Marines hold a bunch of tourists hostage on Alcatraz island (conveniently, the place is full of rusty but working jail cells!) and it's up to "chemical superfreak" Nicolas Cage and former "British Sheecret Shervish" agent Sean Connery to bust them loose and stop Ed Harris and his brigade from launching these deadly green balls of toxic chemical gas at the innocent citizens of San Francisco!  Those poor people have it bad enough having to go up and down 45-degree angle tilted streets every day, don't they?  We've got car chases, demolition, hand-to-hand combat, lots of things blowing up, and even some excellent performances (I was gonna say "acting", but you know...Cage is doing his over-the-top Cagey stuff...not sure if there's an Oscar category for Best Batshit Rant from a Lead Actor...).  Plain and simple, action and entertainment up the wazoo!  Welcome to The Rock!  You're in, mate!
