Merle was born in Okinawa, Japan to a mother of Korean and Japanese descent and an African-American father serving in the U.S Force. Growing up in Nebraska,but not into football, Merle didn't know where she fit. A friend encouraged Merle to choose drama as a study because she was told it was "easy". Little did Merle know that the drama department would be the community she had been longing for and that expression would give her the platform to explore social conditions and and the emotions that must be exposed to understand and accept each other. Merle graduated college and had a wild inclination that New York was where she needed to be to fulfill her purpose. With $107 in her pock, a packed Uhaul and an ailing kitten, she drove to New York and landed in the sea of many hopeful artist. Merle was still figuring out what was cool and learning everything on the fly. At the time a non-equity actor, she heard that everyone in town was going to audition for "Jesus Christ Superstar", so she decided to learn a song and stand in line at 4am to hopefully be given the opportunity to audition. At 1pm the casting director not only called her in to the room, but gave her the space and the light to shine. Even though most things came to Merle very easily, she was still doing what she considers "on the job" training and chasing after an idea or feeling of what it is to be an actress. After a job replaced her, a blessing in disguise, Merle accredits her acting coach Warner Loughlin for giving her the strength and confidence to approach every role with ease and unwavering sense of responsibility to the intention and message of the role. After working three jobs to support her theater career, Merle Dandridge landed herself in the company of Oprah and now holds the honor of portraying Grace on OWN's hit show, GREENLEAF. This woman's 25 year journey is nothing short of resilient, spiritual, and guided.

Host Mark Steele and resident expert Dr. Dave Schneider, M.D., interview acting coach Warner Loughlin. She is the acting coach for modern icons like Ryan Reynolds and Amy Adams. Warner started her career as an actress, and during that time she was taught the method of substitution, where the performer takes his or her own past trauma and personal negative experiences and then relives them mentally and emotionally for the sake of the performance. Even though this method was taught by the greats such as Stanislavski and Meisner, it achieved inconsistent results. On one hand, you could produce an Oscar-winning performance, on the other, a complete emotional and mental breakdown. Warner knew that there had to be a better way to get beautiful and moving performances without the threat to an actor’s emotional, mental and physical wellbeing.
The incredible Warner Loughlin patiently stays with me as I get into an actor's psyche and perspectives, goes more into her method, gives practical advice on how to stay fresh in a scene take after take, and we discuss some of her clients including the joy that is Amy Adams.
The incredible (and incredibly patient) Warner Loughlin joins Allen in Part I of a discussion (rather than a conventional interview) spanning the life of an actor. They start with Stanislavsky and end with Warner Loughlin method and discuss everything in between. If you're an actor confused by so many methods - this is for you!
