Episode #190 with James Morrison

Dan is joined by actor, writer, filmmaker, musician, James Morrison probably best known for playing Bill Buchanan on 24! We chat about the process of filming 24, the benefit of settling into a character for a long period of time, learning from every experience, having one acting teacher for forty years, playing a child's game as an actor, having a supportive family, driving trucks, finding focus with acting, in search of an alternate reality, piecing everything together in finding a career as an actor, getting little breaks along the way, being plagued by performance anxiety, getting reminded to have fun, the difficulty of easing into jobs, not having any control over the end product, knowing when you need to recharge, not having room for doubt, constantly being triggered as actor, creating opportunity for yourself, writing a very personal solo show about his son and making it universal, yoga, exchanging ideas being the greatest form of meditation, and a whole lot more!
