Paden Fallis hosts the podcast In and [Out of] the Arena (available on Apple, Stitcher, etc), and it’s an atypical interview show: he creates a very cool roundtable discussion with working actors out there, people from all over the country.

Actors with credits on Broadway, network TV, indie films, voiceover, and everything in-between. It’s a weekly, topic-driven show, so each episode focuses on a different issue actors face.

Paden is an actor, director, writer and producer, currently based in Atlanta, Georgia. He studied at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. His first screenplay, As Far as the Eye Can See, made its World Premiere at the Montreal World Film Festival.

Just a bit of what we cover:

• Where Paden is on his journey
• Why he wanted to do a podcast
• What he has learned about acting since starting the podcast
• The Trader Joe's incident with actor Geoffrey Owens
• Professional jealousy and avoiding bitterness
• How social media drives casting
• Actors who want to feed the soul
• One thing he wish he had done differently when he started

I hope you enjoy this conversation and this experiment—I’d love to hear what you think about this kind of episode, if it’s helpful, and if you’d like to hear more like it. Reach out to me on Twitter @theworkngactors, or if you prefer, you can send an email here.
