On this episode of Flourish-Meant, host Tina Yeager sits down with actor Brandon Potter to discuss the lessons he's learned playing the antagonist character Quintus in the hit TV series "The Chosen". The conversation delves into how viewers can relate to the character and the importance of being a part of something bigger than oneself. They explore the power of the show in bringing people together and the message of gathering with others to achieve growth through shared experiences. Tune in to learn how an unlikely teacher can offer unexpected perspectives.

 Brandon Potter is an actor best known for his role as Quintus in the popular show The Chosen. A Texas native and lifelong storyteller, his voice can be heard in hundreds of cartoons, video games, audiobooks, podcasts, and commercials. On-screen credits include the feature film Little Woods, starring Tessa Thompson, a guest role in Special (Netflix Series), and commercial work for brands like State Farm, American Airlines, and more. He got his acting chops as a company member of the Tony Award-winning Dallas Theater Center where he starred as President LBJ in All the Way, and Scrooge in A Christmas Carol among many others. Current projects include producing the SAG feature film Final Dress, a teen slasher set in a summer theater camp, which addresses sexual assault in the live theater world.

In an interview with Flourish-Meant, Potter shares his insights on playing the antagonist to Jesus, and how he approaches empathizing with his character rather than judging him. He also talks about the importance of being a part of something bigger than oneself and the value of seeing people come together for a common cause. Brandon hopes that viewers of The Chosen will take away the message of gathering together with others to share and be a part of something open and inclusive.

• Discussion of Potter's experience playing the antagonist character of Quintus in "The Chosen"
• Potter's empathy for Quintus and his pursuit of his goals

Hi! I’m Gail Nobles. I hope you’re enjoying the Amos n Andy episodes. Today’s topic: Freeman Gosden & Charles Correll.

Amos n Andy is an American radio sitcom about black characters. It was written and voiced by two white actors, Freeman Gosden and Charles Correll. Freeman played as Amos and Charles played as Andy.

Amos n Andy began as one of the first radio comedy series and originated from station WMAQ in Chicago. After the first broadcast in 1928, the show became a hugely popular series, first on NBC Radio and later on CBS Radio and Television.

Gosden and Correll were white actors familiar with minstrel traditions. They met in Durham, North Carolina, in 1920. Both men had some scattered experience in radio, but it was not until 1925 that the two appeared on Chicago's WQJ. The pair hoped that the radio exposure would lead to stage work.

In 1930, RKO Radio Pictures brought Gosden and Correll to Hollywood to appear in an Amos 'n' Andy feature film, Check and Double Check . The cast included a mix of white and black performers (the latter including Duke Ellington and his orchestra) with Gosden and Correll playing Amos 'n' Andy in blackface. The film pleased neither critics nor Gosden and Correll, but briefly became RKO's biggest box-office hit before King Kong (1933).
Audiences were curious to see what their radio favorites looked like and were expecting to see African Americans instead of white men in blackface.

Later the main roles in the television series were played by blacked actors, Spencer Williams played Andy, Tim Moore played as Kingfish, and Alvin Childress played Amos. Adopted to television, The Amos n Andy show was produced from June 1951 to April 1953 with 52 filmed Episodes.

His death is still debated today. His series are still watched and his memory brings a smile to every person who has seen George Reeves portray his signature role. Happy Birthday, George Reeves.

Name a popular television series from the 1960s through to the late 1980s, and chances are the name of director, Ralph Senensky, will be listed on the credits – the original series of Star Trek, The FBI, The Waltons, Hart to Hart and Dynasty are among the dozens of shows he directed in his distinguished career – including seven episodes of The Partridge Family.

At 97, Ralph Senensky, is a great storyteller. Growing up in Mason City, Iowa, he had no idea what he wanted to do with his life but his love for the movies was always a constant presence. He shares his story of how Gone With The Wind was the film which had the most impact on his life and career path.

He first directed The Partridge Family in June 1970 with the episode, When Mother Gets Married, and went on to work on a further six episodes – To Play Or Not To Play, A Partridge Up A Pear Tree, 40 Year Itch, Dora! Dora! Dora!, Guess Who’s Coming To Drive and The Undergraduate.

In our conversation, he reflects on his career, the seven weeks with The Partridge Family, how he remembers working with David, recalling his experience of seeing David’s father, Jack, on stage and working with his own favourite actress, Barbara Stanwyck.
