Hosted by Brendan Wayne, this podcast explores the art, craft, and power of storytelling across film, television, books, and popular culture.
As an actor best known for helping bring Mando to life in The Mandalorian, Brendan has spent his career studying how great characters connect with audiences through performance, movement, emotion, and story. As the grandson of legendary screen icon John Wayne, he also brings a unique perspective shaped by a family legacy deeply rooted in Hollywood storytelling, offering insight into how the craft has evolved across generations while remaining grounded in the timeless elements that make stories resonate.
Drawing from his own experiences in the entertainment industry, as well as conversations with actors, writers, directors, producers, and other creative professionals, Brendan goes beyond the finished product to uncover what makes stories memorable.
Whether you're a filmmaker, writer, actor, avid reader, or simply someone who loves a great story, join us as we explore the stories behind the stories and discover why certain narratives stay with us long after the final page, scene, or credit roll.
In the first episode of Hats & Helmets, Brendan Wayne sits down with two-time Emmy Award–winning stuntman Lateef Crowder. Over the past eight years, the pair has worked together to help bring the titular character of The Mandalorian to life. They work their way through Lateef's incredible career journey, from capoeira master to the big screen.
