Today on Too Opinionated, we're joined by Haitian-American actor, writer, director, and producer Béchir Sylvain, currently appearing as Sanford in Marvel's highly anticipated series Wonder Man. In Wonder Man, small-time actor Simon Williams struggles to balance his personal life while hiding his superpowers — and Béchir's role as Sanford adds depth to the world surrounding one of Marvel's most unique characters. We talk behind-the-scenes stories, working within the Marvel universe, and what it takes to step into a project of this scale. Beyond Marvel, Béchir is known for: "Glock" on Starz's BMF Season 3 "Roman" on BET+ hit series Diarra From Detroit "AJ" on TBS's Claws His impressive television resume also includes: Better Call Saul, Chicago PD, This Is Us, Black-ish, Grace and Frankie, SWAT, Blindspotting, Black Summer, The Mick, Fuller House, and more. A lifetime member of The Actors Studio, Béchir studied drama at SMU and created the award-winning web series Make It Happen.

Actor Milo Ventimiglia sits down with Bobby and shares what he learned working alongside Will Smith, then breaks down the TV breakthroughs that changed his life—from getting on the map with Gilmore Girls to launching into a whole new stratosphere with This Is Us. He also gets real about the “99 no' before a yes” grind, how he memorizes lines, and when you’re allowed to ad-lib (and when a set won’t let you change a single word). Plus, the unexpectedly hilarious side of Milo: Blue Angels stories, “chirping,” and why he has very strong opinions about passing out mid-flight and what it was like learning to sing for a new role when vocals weren’t even in his bag of tricks.

This week, Tommy is joined by actor Milo Ventimiglia, whose career has spanned beloved television roles, heartfelt dramas, and unforgettable characters that continue to resonate with audiences. From being stopped on the street for Jack Pearson to reflecting on the lasting cultural impact of Gilmore Girls and its sharp, enduring writing, Milo looks back on the characters that shaped his career and the complicated legacy of playing a “toxic” love interest. He shares what he really thinks about Jess today, the advice he would give his younger self, and why he has never been afraid of rejection. This conversation also explores maintaining boundaries between work and home life and why separating emotion from career has been key to longevity. Milo also opens up about stepping into I Can Only Imagine 2, taking vocal lessons and guitar training for the role, and how personal loss, including losing his home in the fires just before welcoming his first child, deepened his connection to the story’s themes of faith, resilience, and gratitude. He reflects on what having faith means to him, why relying solely on work for happiness can be dangerous, and what his relationship is like with fear. Milo also speaks candidly about letting life experiences shape creativity rather than the other way around. Subscribe, rate, and leave a written review if you enjoy this conversation!

On this episode of The Storytellers Podcast, Andrew Erwin sits down with actor Milo Ventimiglia for an honest, moving, and personal conversation about career, calling, and finding purpose through storytelling. Milo reflects on the roles that shaped him—from the beloved family drama This Is Us to the fast-talking charm of Gilmore Girls—and how those projects prepared him for something very different: stepping into the world of faith-based filmmaking for Andrew's upcoming movie I Can Only Imagine 2. In a powerful moment, Milo shares the surreal experience of being on Zoom with musical artist Tim Timmons when he looked outside his Palisades home and saw smoke rising from the devastating Palisades fire that would ultimately take his house. That moment of loss, vulnerability, and perspective reshaped how he thought about gratitude and grief. Andrew and Milo dive deep into why I Can Only Imagine 2 feels different—why it's more than just a sequel—and how portraying Tim Timmons on screen became an emotional collaboration rooted in friendship and authenticity. Milo discusses the responsibility of playing a real person, and how Tim's life reflects his faith. This episode is about legacy, resilience, Hollywood, faith, and the moments that change us forever. If you love This Is Us, Gilmore Girls, inspiring true stories, and behind-the-scenes filmmaking conversations, you won't want to miss this one.

Since the beginning of the year, we've been on a journey together- a family road trip, so to speak. We're revisiting the values we share as a church family. The beliefs that define who we are and shape how we live. We've titled this series of messages, This Is US. So far, we've looked at the values of Biblical Truth, Grace, Spiritual Growth, Excellence and Evangelism. This week we're taking a look at our value of Service. We live in a self-serve world. So to hear someone... anyone... say, "How may I serve you?" sounds a little weird. But I have a friend who says it all the time. Every time someone seeks him out, for anything, the first words out of his mouth are, "How may I serve you?" And he means it. It's startling and refreshing all at the same time. This week we'll unpack what it means to truly serve one another. I invite you to join us this Sunday  at 11 AM. You'll find us online by clicking the "Join Us Sunday" button on our website or connect with us via our YouTube channel. Or come worship with us in person!  Enjoy coffee, cookies and conversation in our  Lobby before the service. Connecting with one another before and after the service is one way we get to do life together.  We do know that 11 AM on Sunday doesn't work for everyone. If that's you, the service will be available on-demand, so you can watch at a time that works better for your schedule.

This week, actor Milo Ventimiglia — known for 'This Is Us,' 'Gilmore Girls' and 'Heroes' — tells us why he chose to star in a new Christian movie, playing real-life worship artist Tim Timmons, who was diagnosed with terminal cancer over 20 years ago and is still defying the odds today. In RELEVANT Buzz, the crew recaps the Super Bowl — including the incredible story of Seahawks coach Mike McDonald, who followed God's calling to leave the corporate world to take an unpaid internship in coaching. And now 12 years later, it's led to a Super Bowl championship. We also dig into a new study revealing that Gen Z is statistically dumber than their parents (and why that's significant). Plus, Jesse forces the crew to watch the Carman movie trailer, and at the end of the show, we have Ask the Cast! And of course Jesse and Derek have some strong thoughts on Ring cameras and drones.Highlights:01:28 — The Olympics and Derek's New Drone04:59 — Ring Cameras Have Ruined Jesse's Hypothetical Heist06:18 — The Dark Knight Predicted the Ring Camera Era09:20 — Apple Is Buying Tech That Can Hear Your Silent Speech16:29 — RELEVANT BUZZ19:31 — Coach Mike McDonald: From Accountant to Super Bowl Champion23:04 — New Study: Gen Z Is Scoring Lower on IQ Tests Than Their Parents24:40 — The Lost Art of Daydreaming & Why Boredom Matters30:09 — Milo Ventimiglia on ‘I Can Only Imagine 2'33:24 — Jesse Makes the Crew Watch the Carman Movie Trailer (Live Reaction)37:47 — SLICES38:11 — Man Cited for Juggling Fire on a Unicycle in a Crosswalk41:11 — Man Breaks Into Little Caesars After Hours & Starts Selling Pizzas43:09 — ASK THE CAST44:05 — What Belief Have You Changed Your Mind On?45:46 — Boundaries You Didn't Know You Could Set46:40 — What Today Would Shock Yourself 10 Years Ago?47:18 — Podcast Voice vs. Real Voice49:48 — Who Has the Worst Music Taste on the Crew?51:04 — Why Jesse Is a Terrible Texter52:55 — NBA All-Star Weekend: Does Anyone Care?53:59 — Outro & YouTube Growth UpdateAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

I enjoy cooking and baking. I love to play piano and sing. I read every day. And Lexi and I have fun doing a jigsaw puzzle every now and then. But I've never been into gardening. It's just not my thing. But Avery is, and she likes berries, so a few years ago, I planted a few strawberry starts in my backyard. Those few strawberry starts slowly began to grow. Eventually those little plants had little blossoms that transformed over time into strawberries! And Avery and I got to pick the fruit and celebrate the gift of berries. Easy to harvest... and delicious. We've been taking these first few weeks of 2026 to remind ourselves of who we are as a church family. We're on a journey together - a family road trip, so to speak - and we're revisiting the shared values that define who we are and shape how we live. We've titled this series of messages, This Is US. We've looked at our values of Biblical Truth, Grace, Spiritual Growth, and Excellence. This week we're taking a look at our value of Evangelism. Now, I'll acknowledge - that word can be a bit intimidating. That's because evangelism is probably one of the most misunderstood aspects of our faith as followers of Jesus. We hear that word and think of people on street corners shouting, "Repent!!" or knocking on neighborhood doors and trying to convince people to convert, as if Jesus was the latest and greatest new product on the market. But evangelism is a lot more like gardening than like shouting or convincing.  I invite you to join us this Sunday  at 11 AM. You'll find us online by clicking the "Join Us Sunday" button on our website or connect with us via our YouTube channel. Or come worship with us in person!  Enjoy coffee, cookies and conversation in our  Lobby before the service.

It's not as intimidating as you think.  We'll see you on Sunday! ----------------------------------- TAKE YOUR NEXT STEP ----------------------------------- Let us know that you were watching with us and you will be entered to receive a free prize by completing our Connection Card: http://dsf.church/ecard   Give Online: https://www.simplechurchgiving.net/App/Giving/dsf Message Notes: https://www.dayspringfellowship.com/messages   Like, comment & subscribe to stay updated!   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dayspringkeizer Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DayspringKeizer YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/dayspringfellowship Website: http://dsf.church   #dayspringkeizer #dayspringfellowship #2026sermon ___________________ Thanks for watching Dayspring Fellowship's worship service!

We're taking the first few weeks of 2026 to remind ourselves of who we are as a church family. Being part of a family is about belonging and becoming; about the journey that we're on together, and the shared values that define who we are and shape how we live. We've titled this series of messages, This Is US. So far, we've looked at the values of Biblical Truth, Grace, and Spiritual Growth. Now in week four, we're taking a look at our value of Excellence. I love a good movie quote. And one of my favorites comes from the 1987 classic movie, The Princess Bride. "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means." And that couldn't be more true of the word excellence. I invite you to join us this Sunday  at 11 AM.

We also dive into the remarkable career of Dan Lauria, whose work spans stage, film, and television—from Broadway roles in Lombardi and A Christmas Story: The Musical to iconic TV appearances in The Wonder Years and This Is Us. We discuss his lifelong devotion to theatre, collaborations with Wendie Malick, and his efforts to nurture new plays through the Durango Play Festival. Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to the DMF! I'm Justin Younts, and in this episode I sit down with Alexandra Beller to dive deep into the role of movement in theater and performance.Alexandra breaks down how movement evolves organically through collaboration between actors, directors, and designers. She explains how the actor's body, the director's vision, and the text itself all interact to create a fully realized performance. Rather than treating movement as something added on, Alexandra emphasizes how it emerges naturally when those elements are truly in dialogue with one another.She shares insight into analyzing character dynamics and highlights the importance of timing in dialogue. Using examples from television, Alexandra contrasts the rapid-fire rhythm of shows like Gilmore Girls with the more spacious, emotionally driven pacing of This Is Us, illustrating how tempo and rhythm shape audience response.Alexandra also discusses the significance of space onstage—how proximity, distance, and physical orientation can deeply influence emotional stakes and storytelling. Her approach offers practical tools for actors to make clearer, more grounded choices that resonate with audiences.Whether you're an aspiring actor or a seasoned performer, this conversation is packed with valuable techniques to deepen your craft.

We're taking the first few weeks of 2026 to remind ourselves of who we are as a church family. Because being a family is about more than just hanging out together once or twice a week. Being part of a family is about belonging and becoming; about shared values that define who we are. This week we're unpacking our value of Spiritual Growth. This is week 3 of our series: This Is Us. We live in a very self-centered, individualistic culture. But Jesus talked about the Church as His body - one whole, made up of many parts. Just as your hand or big toe wouldn't function effectively (or... at all!) if it were disconnected from your physical body, there's no option for going it alone - disconnected from other believers - in your journey as a Christ-follower. This is an adventure that we take together.  I invite you to join us this Sunday at 11 AM. You'll find us online by clicking the "Join Us Sunday" button on our website or connect with us via our YouTube channel. Or come worship with us in person!  Enjoy coffee, cookies and conversation in our Lobby before the service. We would love to connect with you! We do know that 11 AM on Sunday doesn't work for everyone. If that's you, the service will be available on-demand, so you can watch at a time that works better for your schedule. ----------------------------------- TAKE YOUR NEXT STEP ----------------------------------- Let us know that you were watching with us and you will be entered to receive a free prize by completing our Connection Card: http://dsf.church/ecard Give Online: https://www.simplechurchgiving.net/App/Giving/dsf Message Notes: https://www.dayspringfellowship.com/messages Like, comment & subscribe to stay updated!

Welcome to the DMF! I'm Justin Younts, and in this episode, Alexandra Beller takes us deep into the role of movement in acting and how it naturally evolves through collaboration between actors, directors, and designers.Alexandra explains that movement isn't something imposed on a performance—it emerges from the relationship between body language, text, and the energetic exchange between characters. She talks about recognizing when something feels “off” in a scene and how that friction can actually be used as a creative tool to strengthen performance rather than something to avoid.Drawing from examples in television, Alexandra discusses how shows like Gilmore Girls and This Is Us use timing, rhythm, and dialogue to generate emotional impact. She emphasizes the importance of authenticity and stakes, noting how a director's guidance around movement can deepen narrative clarity and emotional truth.Throughout the conversation, Alexandra highlights how physical choices can reveal character intention and elevate storytelling. She also introduces her upcoming book, The Anatomy of Art, which explores the artistic process and includes practical exercises designed to help creatives grow through embodied practice.If you're interested in how movement, energy, and intention intersect in performance, this episode offers valuable insight into how physicality can transform acting from the inside out.00:00:00 - Introduction00:00:18 - Collaboration in Art00:01:05 - Analyzing and Understanding Actors00:01:37 - Interpreting and Directing Dialogues00:02:51 - Stylization and Context in Film00:04:39 - Reading Characters and Predicting Outcomes00:06:12 - Understanding Body Language in Acting00:09:14 - Interpreting Non-Verbal Communication00:11:21 - Experiencing Film and Theater00:11:50 - Engagement and Authenticity in Performance00:12:54 - Influence of Global Theater on Work00:13:07 - Working with Directors00:13:55 - Constellatory Thinking in Directing00:15:45 - The Role of Embodiment in Directing00:17:30 - The Art of Choreography00:18:58 - Influence of Global Theater Styles00:21:21 - Praxis Space: An Artistic Community00:21:22 - The Anatomy of Art: A New Book00:21:22 - The Anatomy of Art: A Deeper Dive00:25:47 - The Role of Directing in Acting00:30:00 - Inside the Actor's Studio: Quick Answers00:31:29 - Reading Habits and Preferences00:32:04 - Listening Preferences00:32:04 - Watching Preferences00:33:16 - Discussion on Recent Movies00:33:22 - In-depth Analysis of Superman Reboot00:36:24 - Contact Information and Course Offerings00:37:24 - Closing RemarksCheck out her website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.alexandrabellerdances.org/

"Have you ever heard of grace?" That's the question a friend of mine received from a frustrated parent. She was working in Christian higher ed, overseeing a community service program - the completion of which was a requirement for students to walk at graduation and receive their diplomas. This particular student had not completed the requirement and had lied about it, and been caught. So, no pomp and circumstance for him - or his disappointed parents. But it begs the question... what is grace? Would grace give him a pass or hold him accountable? We're in week 2 of our first sermon series of 2026: This Is Us. Over the next several weeks, we're going to unpack the values that we believe in and endeavor to live out as a church. This week we're taking a look at grace. Do you know what it is? And what it isn't? In order to live out any value, you have to understand it. I invite you to join us this Sunday at 11 AM. You'll find us online by clicking the "Join Us Sunday" button on our website or connect with us via our YouTube channel. Or come worship with us in person!  Enjoy coffee, cookies and conversation in our Lobby before the service. We would love to connect with you!

We are kicking off 2026 with a brand new series we've titled This Is Us. Over the next 7 weeks, we're going to focus on reminding ourselves of who we are—and who we're becoming—together. Our values as a church family aren't just nice ideas printed on a wall or published on our website; they're the shared identity we live out as a spiritual family. Each week, we'll explore a core value that shapes our life together in Christ, from Biblical Truth to Worship. As we begin a new year, this series invites you into a deeper sense of belonging, purpose, and transformation—because spiritual growth doesn't happen alone. It happens in community, and it happens here. I invite you to join us this Sunday at 11 AM.

In this week's conversation between Dr. James Emery White and co-host Alexis Drye, they discuss the results of a multi-year study of about 24,000 church attenders that was conducted by the Hartford Institute for Religion Research. The goal was to examine their church engagement. A particular finding stood out, which was that 46% of those 24,000 churchgoers reported active engagement with more than one church. For purposes of the study, they defined “active engagement” as attending in person, watching online or on TV, or taking part in both physical and virtual offerings. So this begs the question: What drives people to want to participate in a variety of church services? Episode Links During today's discussion, Dr. White outlined three categories of churchgoers: the church hopper, the church shopper and the church dropper. He also wrote a blog about this topic titled “Church Hopping, Shopping and Dropping,” which you can read HERE. It's also important to have a clear understanding of what Church is meant to be, and how we are called to engage with the community of the local church. Dr. White delivered a two-week series at Mecklenburg Community Church called “This Is Us,” which outlined the values and the mission of Meck. And then another incredibly helpful series was simply titled “Being Church” and explored what true biblical community looks like. You can find that series HERE.
