Every actor has a story, we give them the mic. I AM AN ACTOR takes a peek behind the curtain with your favorite actors. We’re diving beneath the surface for honest, unfiltered conversations about craft, career, and the defining moments that make an actor who they are.
Hosted by Jon Brockett, Showrunner and Executive Producer of The Actor Awards, and Jamie Chung, acclaimed actor whose career spans film, television, and voice acting, I AM AN ACTOR feels less like an interview and more like a look behind the lens that you never want to end. Part peer conversation, part masterclass. Warm, personal, and genuinely revealing.
Each week, Jon and Jamie sit down with the gifted actors you’ve seen on your screen to talk about the work beyond the work; new insights into their career, and moments behind the scenes that they’ve never told before.
Grab your front row seat, the show is about to begin!
Follow I AM AN ACTOR on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.
I AM AN ACTOR is a SAG-AFTRA podcast produced by @sickbirdproductions.
