Hey Thespies! We are back with a brand-new episode featuring our special guest, Bell. She is a casting agent here in Miami and we talked with her about what makes the ideal actor for an agent, how she got started in the industry and what are the ins and outs of being a good agent. Hopefully this information helps out anyone who wants to submit themselves to an agency and start booking gigs! Make sure to follow our Instagram page @opactpod. Comment, like, share, and tune into this delicious conversation. Thank you for the 1000+ listeners who keep this show going. We love you.

This week on BEFORE THE BREAK, the boys sit down with photographer, Michael Hull. His work has been featured in The New York Times, VH1, Playbill Magazine, Broadway.com, Broadway World, The Times Square Alliance, and The Rodgers and Hammerstein Foundation. We discuss working amidst the industry strikes, the importance of specificity, the intimacy of a photo shoot, starting his career as an actor, how he reluctantly got into head shot photography, being in service of others, creating a place of comfort for clients, and when in the shoot he gets the most genuine shots. That and much more!

Peter lives in Los Angeles, hails from the great state of Texas, and photographs subjects all over the world. Peter shoots lots of rock stars. He gets along with them because he’s a nice guy and not intimidating. This is confusing to Peter because he thinks he totally looks like a rock star.

Peter is a contributor to GQ, Rolling Stone, Esquire and The New York Times Magazine, and has shot campaigns for Coca-cola, Comedy Central and Bank of America, among others. His work has been recognized by American Photography and Communication Arts, but he would never tell you because he is too modest. Also, he once bowled a 225.
