Ive not had ambitions but Ive had thoughts of wanting to create stories. But felt like my mental health would hold me back. That advice of not expecting becoming big to make you happy is what I needed to hear right now.
Super nerdy, but play D&D and read a lot of books. I run a D&D game with friends and creating a story for people that actually appreciate the time you’ve spend writing is really fun. I do it for fun and am writing on the side because I enjoy it.
Carrie Fischer talked about watching her parents fade from the spotlight and how it effected them.. and her. She wanted to avoid living in the spotlight because of that.. On the flip side of this equation about living in and out of the spotlight; Vincent Price's character was naturally inclined to be the spotlight itself. He had a healthy sense of himself from the first day he stepped onto a stage
... I've been saying this for years.. life is 3 acts. You are born.. age 0 to 25 is the first act.. age 25 to 50 is the second act. Now I'm in my third act.. age 50 to death. Most people make it to their late 70s or so. Make that last act the best one. You've learned a lot by then and know how to make it count.
Nah, I think it's more 4 acts. ACT 1 infancy, where you need to learn about the basic rules about the world and your place in it. ACT 2 adolescence, where you begin testing boundaries and your abilities in tge world. ACT 3 adulthood, where your actions have consequences both intended and unintended and it can either bring great joy or great destruction. Finally, ACT 4 Final stretch, where you are filled with wisdom from your years, but left with no ability to act on it, so you are left with regrets of your past, and/or hope for the future to learn from your own story.
I like that they're down to earth.....unlike a lot of Hollywood people that have to make some stupid political statement, whilst being completely out of touch with reality.
I believe that is the major question that most people deal with "What do I really want?!" As we go through life, we find the things of our youth are not the goals, of our maturity.
I just played days gone and it was absolutely phenomenal. Witwer's performance was outstanding as usual. Really made me feel for Deacon St. John. Love this guy. Need way more of him.
@@willl7780 it doesn't matter that no one watches, but industry people probably all gather during that time of year its like the combine in sports where all GMs and agents gather it can be a rare opportunity
This is probably a main reason Why Many decide against trying to make a career in Hollywood...or the entertainment industry! The Hypocrisy and Unethical practices are a Huge red flag!
Thank you so much for this. I'm always frowned upon by managers or other actors when i feel just as uncomfortable and just as much when i express these thoughts.
What do you want? It's a good question, because it really depends where are you in your life. Not many people can answer that questions and even fewer who can do it when they are young and then follow it until the end. It's not easy and it might change as you grow older or it might not. But you should keep asking yourself that as often as necessary whenever you feel astray. I came here a while back out of curiosity "what that that bold guy from Smallville has to say" and I stayed for the honest conversation with interesting and vulnerable people, who just happened to be well known actors.
Hollywon't is the absolute WORST place for creative truth, quality, and ethics. Almost none of those things will ever be present in Hollywon't. Sure, INDIVIDUALS might possess those things, but not "the machine". 🐲✨🐲✨🐲✨
@@glibchubik4090 He was the walker Rick shot in the tank & yes originally he was going to have a prequel series as the soldier & how he ended up there.
@@glibchubik4090 Yup. He still makes an appearance though. He was the dead solider in the tank. I remember randomly seeing him dead and going what was the point of this cameo. 😂
Holy Moly, Yesssss!!!. That would be awesome, he kinda looks like Von doom, has a good voice, and he voiced maul who is a darker character, so he would fit right in. That would be awesome.

I'm an actor in Cleveland, I used to be self conscious about that because realistically how much acting does anyone do in Cleveland. I haven't worked in a long time, so what.
Tough industry, lots of rejection. Must be worse for women as well because their roles dry up more quickly to go to the batch of younger hotter actresses.
Talk about a love-hate relationship I love his character as Starkiller & Decon ,. But I forgot his name but the character he plays in Protocol.. I f****** hate that guy. Haha
I loved his character but then they rapidly turned him into a whiny, incompetent idiot before killing him off. Fastest character assassination I've seen.
@@One21Jiggawatts yeah. Before that he was the happy-go-lucky guy who flew around with Sharon and found water and planets and stuff. Plus he stood up for Chief when he was being investigated by the Master of Arms.
There is an interview with Neil Patrick Harris, I found the clip here, where he talks about this very thing, when he was doing Doogy Howser. ruclips.net/video/7bS-I7swn1w/видео.html The guy equated it to surfing, and it's a really good analogy for the industry
I love Sam Witwer. Years ago when a guy got too clingy on an elevator Sam stepped in. I will always have a soft spot in my heart for him.
These guys are just really cool down to earth guys. It's great to see them being so honest in an industry that's built on being so fake.
How do you know they're not acting right now? If they are telling the truth then it's because they aren't paid to care.
i find it hard to watch some movies because i hate some of these actors so much..these 2 seem cool
@@willl7780 I don't know man. Actors be acting.
Sam witwer needs a live action star wars role
yea he should play Darth maul in a star wars film.
Starkiller cameo in The Mandolorian!
Ohhhhh
The big need
Have you never played Force Unleashed?

Sam was excellent in Days Gone. Deserves a sequel.
Yeah, it’s dope. I need that virus explained.
There was one planned but sadly it was scrapped.
I loved that game overall but a big reason was him. He acted the shit out of that game. Like every line had real weight and emotion to it.
@@printezstroman There is a channel that explains all videogame viruses including the "Hooligan virus" from Days Gone.
Days gone was bad on release what are talking about
It baffles me that Sam isn't in more films he's too good
Saw Witwer for the first time in that movie the Mist (Great movie!), he's was great in the video games as well. Seems like a cool dude.
Thanks for being genuine. Both of you.
now this is a real conversation - no bullshit !

award shows do seem like networking events
They are. For those nominated, the campaigning that goes on behind the scenes is purely about recognition for future roles and bigger paychecks.

They really need to make Days Gone 2
He should play Jon Ham's brother in a movie
“We were smoking grass and riding bikes” 😂😂😂
The passive-aggressive name-drop one-upmanship on this podcast between the host and the guests is consistently hysterical.
This is great, man!
Thanks for the insight and wisdom!
That Is Great Advice for Life!
We All need to practice being Real.
That was really good 👍
Holy balls and they talk about bruce and how they wrote that's amazingly awesome best episode ever

I would watch a podcast with just these two on it. they're so fuckin good
I want to see the entire episode video but Spotify doesn't have it. Where can I see it?
My man Star Killer such a big part of my childhood
Still sucks that due to AMC being bastards we never got the Walking Dead spin off with Witner's character from the tank in the pilot.
Wtf, he was supposed to be in TWD?
@@glibchubik4090 He was the walker Rick shot in the tank & yes originally he was going to have a prequel series as the soldier & how he ended up there.
@@glibchubik4090 Yup. He still makes an appearance though. He was the dead solider in the tank. I remember randomly seeing him dead and going what was the point of this cameo. 😂
Why does Sam Witwer sound like Homelander from The Boys.
The boys is probably the perfect show for Sam to be on next.
He actually would have made a great Homelander.
@@LetsGetitBoah Can't imagine Sam with blonde hair lmao
I want to see Sam Witwer as Doctor Victor Von Doom in the MCU.
Holy Moly, Yesssss!!!. That would be awesome, he kinda looks like Von doom, has a good voice, and he voiced maul who is a darker character, so he would fit right in. That would be awesome.
That’s great casting right there

Corporate life yeah
I love the evil dead poster on the wall....hey silly idea but sam could totally pull of playing Ash.. cant wait for evil dead rise
Smoking grass and riding bikes with Bruce Campbell. Holy shit what a life lol
Amazing stuff. Love what Bruce told Sam. Mike is the best Lex Luthor of all time btw. Just saying.
I always forget Sam was in Smallville😂!!!
Sam should do more live action roles
Sam Witwer for Harvey Dent/Two Face in Matt Reeves' The Batman II PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!! He'd be perfect
Kenobbbiiiii
Starkiller!
Honesty also has a much longer shelf life. It's slow and steady and has a lot more longevity, but the machine cares about next week, not next decade.
yes…. live action role in starwars
I'm an actor in Cleveland, I used to be self conscious about that because realistically how much acting does anyone do in Cleveland. I haven't worked in a long time, so what.
Crazy how they haven't given him a Live action role ... Heck even star killer but nerfed 😅
Sam Witwer for Darth Revan
He is so hot. Really it'so sad that he's unfortunately underrated actor.
I can only hear deacon from days gone...
Tough industry, lots of rejection. Must be worse for women as well because their roles dry up more quickly to go to the batch of younger hotter actresses.

When I was a kid I loved Smallville! !@#$ all the BS! \m/
It's not really relevant to the video, but am I seeing things or Sam wearing same jacket as Leon Kennedy in Resident Evil 6?
We need More Real Talk Not 🐂💩
He was Crashdown in Battlestar Galactica. So good!
I loved his character but then they rapidly turned him into a whiny, incompetent idiot before killing him off. Fastest character assassination I've seen.
Was Cras down the guy who went crazy and chief had to kill in the season 2 opening 3 parter when they were crashed and hiding from Cylons?

Sure hope Dave and John talk to Sam and get him in the Madelorian a bit with some Bad As…. Armour on im sure Sam would do it haha
I loved him in Steven kings the mist staring Thomas jane
