Send us a textWhat does it truly mean to live with a character? Matt Drago, the breakout star of "Somewhere in Montana," takes us deep into the transformative journey of method acting in this candid conversation about artistic sacrifice and unexpected opportunity.Drago shares the remarkable story behind landing his "role of a lifetime" opposite Graham McTavish and Michelle Hurd—a full circle moment that began when he helped another struggling artist years earlier. With refreshing vulnerability, he details his approach to character immersion: losing 25 pounds, creating character journals, and assembling cross-genre playlists that help him emotionally align with his roles. "When you've got a cast and crew like we had on Somewhere in Montana, and you just get the space to live and breathe in the character for a long amount of time, it's a very joyful experience," Drago reflects.The conversation reveals how Drago's lifelong martial arts practice (Okinawan Shorin-ryu) provides the disciplined foundation for his acting work. This parallel path helps him maintain centeredness during career uncertainties and the emotional roller coaster of pursuing acting without industry connections. His journey from closing New York City bars at 4 AM to filming pivotal scenes in Montana barns illustrates the persistence required when following artistic dreams.Perhaps most moving are Drago's reflections on artistic mentorship and the family formed during production. From breakfast conversations with McTavish to sunset heart-to-hearts with Hurd, these relationships transcended the project itself. "Matt, you are an actor, don't forget that," Hurd told him in a moment of doubt—words that continue to sustain him. His gratitude extends equally to the crews who transform creative visions into reality: "Crews are what make films great."Ready to discover the magic of "Somewhere in Montana" and the actor bringing Fabian to life?

Hollywood's dystopian-sounding future is here, with AI the overriding issue for actors as they negotiated their new deal with the studios. Today, two actors on that SAG negotiating committee, Picard's Michelle Hurd and actor Kevin E. West, walk host Elaine Low through new guardrails around “synthetic” performances, and how an actor can still get paid even when their replica is the one at work. The pair also unpack the new streaming residual “fund”, new intimacy coordinator rules, and what hair and makeup provisions mean for performers of color.

Our nostalgic, high-quality final journey with the TNG crew continues as we review Picard S3 Episodes 5-8! It's time to put the band back together while the Titan is on the run, we thankfully start getting a lot less of Michelle Hurd, and we should all be so lucky to get those sweet Old Age Jackets to slim us on camera.

On July 13, SAG-AFTRA went on strike, walking off film and television sets and joining the WGA in demanding a square deal from producers. Nearly two months later, that deal seems as distant as ever. You know Michelle Hurd from her work as Raffi on Star Trek: Picard, but you may also know that she is the Vice President of SAG-AFTRA. She joined me to talk about the ongoing strike and the upcoming United We Trek event. WHAT: United We Trek! WHEN: September 8, 2023 from 9:30 am - 12 pm WHERE: In LA: 5433 Melrose Ave. or in NYC: 1515 Broadway

Bill & Dan have returned from Fabulous Las Vegas and STLV! There were laughs, there were amazing meals, there were reunions, but more importantly, there was a TON of Star Trek! They'll look back on their entire week in the desert and their return to the Rio All Suites Hotel and Casino for the first time in three years.  Hear about opening night in the Vendor Hall, some of the people they met--including Bill's conversation with a self-described "toxic Star Trek fan," and all about FanGeeks Party 2023 at Millennium Fandom Bar with special guests John Billingsley, Bonnie Gordon, and Michelle Hurd! Plus, they'll each pick their most favorite thing from this trip--and Dan's has absolutely nothing to do with Trek.  It was one of their favorite trips to Vegas EVER, and you get to hear why this week!
