Acting Out
Trevor Lawless, Dave Harris, and Shea Norman are three wanna-be actors taking some time each week to share the highs and lows of starting out in the entertainment industry. They discuss their lives, loves, and the never-ending pursuit of happiness, which almost always includes a beer or two. The conversations range from informative to insulting, but all are (hopefully) amusing. And if anything they say offends you, don't take it too seriously - they're just acting out.

Stoke the fire, pour a drink, and join us for another tantalizing episode! This week we braved seeing Terminator: Genisys so that you wouldn't have to. Spoilers abound for that, the biggest one being how terrible the movie is. Other topics include being insulted (or complimented?) at the liquor store; responsible screenwriting; complete movies; Schwarzenegger movies; a pirate ship floats by; James Cameron; time travel; Amy Winehouse; previews that wreck movies; what we're watching; and Shea is presented with a time traveling dilemma that boggles the mind! Chat with us on Twitter @ActingOutPod and let us know what you think! Also, apologies for the audio this week. A couple of spots make it sound like we're being ravished by a Terminator. Hope to have it fixed for next week! Love you!
