Title: Andre Pearson
Summary: Actor Andre Pearson is based out of the DMV and has appeared in approximately two hundred commercials. His workincludes theater, short films, student films, feature films, and television. He gives advice on building a good resume, getting a professional headshot, and having a management team that works well with actor preferences and availability. He gets real and talks about the long term effects that a busy acting life can have on a marriage. He has certainly learned to make some changes and to assess which priorities are worth pursuing. Most creatives struggle at some point or another about feeling selfish that they get to play make-believe for a living, while others do not; we get into the nitty gritty about relationship dos and don’ts.

Title: Brandon Hoover
Summary: Actor Brandon Hoover quit his day job without having another one lined up, so he got into acting. From being an extra on House of Cards to doing indie films and commercials, Brandon has relied on creativity to get him through tough times. His theater class in college came in handy, because he has also done stage work. He had a near death experience, yet went ahead with his filming commitments because of his love for being on set. We discuss not just a passion for acting, but also a love of 90s alternative music. Brandon is also a parent and he talks about the challenges of passing on his musical tastes to his offspring, since they seem to have different interests and preferences. His hobbies include collecting baseball cards, something he has done since he was a kid, and also co-hosting a podcast all about sports. His podcast link is down below!
