Ep 582: Ward Roberts

PUBLIC VERSION. Filmmaker/actor Ward Roberts (THE NICE GUYS, DUST-UP, WESTWORLD, CHILLERAMA, LITTLE BIG TOP) joins Adam, Joe, and Arwen in the ArieScope Studio to share his career journey. From growing up in "the carnival capitol of the United States"… to making the decision to leave Indiana and chase his Hollywood dreams… to working on both sides of the screen as both an actor in film & TV and a director (DUST-UP and the Sid Haig-starring LITTLE BIG TOP)… to his memorable turn as the expletive-spewing, ocular-cavity humping older brother in Joe's CHILLERAMA segment ("Zom-B-Movie") where he met future collaborators Bear McCreary & Richard Riehle… to the trials of being an actor in Los Angeles… to the 4 years that it took to make his new feature (the iPhone-filmed INVADERS FROM PROXIMA-B which is now available on VOD)… to directing his daughter in a scene-stealing turn… and why he continues to work with long time collaborators like fellow filmmaker Travis Betz (JOSHUA) and casting director Annie Roberts… Ward is one of the family to us.
