    <title>I AM AN ACTOR</title>
    <language>en</language>
    <copyright></copyright>
    <description>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!

      <title>Phil Dunster: Rooster and Reinvention </title>
      <description>Phil Dunster explores the craft of acting, reflecting on early drama school training through to breakout success in Ted Lasso and what it takes to build complex, compelling characters that feel deeply human. He shares how physicality, clowning, and stage work shaped his approach to performance, and why leaning into flawed or difficult characters often leads to the most honest storytelling. He also discusses stepping into roles that balance comedy and vulnerability, learning to trust instinct over perfection, and the importance of ensemble work on set. Along the way, he breaks down what it means to find humanity in characters who don’t always get it right, and why those roles tend to resonate most with audiences.

      <title>Mariska Hargitay: The Banana in the Bag</title>
      <description>Mariska Hargitay reflects on the unexpected path that led her from ballet training to a lifelong career in acting, sharing how an early documentary on Sanford Meisner sparked her commitment to the craft and how formative early roles, including on ER, helped shape her voice on screen. She opens up about the deep preparation behind her work, the importance of empathy and emotional truth and what it means to sustain a 27-year legacy on Law &amp; Order: Special Victims Unit, a role she says she “manifested” and continues to find meaning in every day. Mariska also speaks about the profound love she has for her SVU cast and crew, and the gift of working alongside both longtime collaborators and new generations of actors. She closes on her recent documentary about her mother, My Mom Jayne, and how telling that story deepened her understanding of legacy, grief and authenticity in her own life and work.

      <title>Kerry Washington: Imperfect Icon</title>
      <description>Kerry Washington kicks off her heels for a conversation on the experiences, training and relationships that shaped her journey as an actor, from discovering a lifelong love of performance in New York City's theater community to building a career defined by curiosity, discipline and collaboration. She shares how studying voice, movement and character research helped her develop a process rooted in specificity, why accent work and portraying real people offer unique pathways into a role and how formative experiences in theater, conservatory training and international study expanded her understanding of storytelling. Along the way, she discusses her work on Scandal, Django Unchained and Imperfect Women, the evolution of Olivia Pope over seven seasons and how producing has allowed her to create opportunities for more complex, nuanced stories both on screen and behind the scenes.

      <title>Rhea Seehorn: Better Call Carol</title>
      <description>Rhea Seehorn takes us inside the discipline and instinct behind her acting process, tracing how her foundation in theater, script analysis and on-camera work shaped the way she builds character moment to moment. She reflects on her performance as Kim Wexler in Better Call Saul, exploring how ambiguity, specificity and listening often lead to the most truthful choices on screen, and how working alongside creators like Vince Gilligan and Bob Odenkirk pushed her to embrace uncertainty rather than over-define her approach. She also breaks down the balance between preparation and instinct, learning when to advocate for creative ideas without ego and how letting go of control in performance can unlock deeper collaboration, emotional precision and more unexpected, alive moments across both stage and screen.

      <title>Quinta Brunson: Actor Elementary</title>
      <description>Quinta Brunson sits down for a heartfelt conversation about building Abbott Elementary from the ground up, tracing her path from childhood impressions in the back of a minivan to discovering improv in college, studying at Second City and breaking into the industry through BuzzFeed and viral digital sketches. She reflects on how those early experiences shaped her voice as a performer and writer, and how she eventually translated that into creating a hit network sitcom. Quinta also opens up about developing Janine Teagues, balancing writing and acting at the same time and why she’s intentional about making flawed, funny women feel deeply human on screen.
