Hold onto your seats as we leap right into an exhilarating chat with the dynamic Hick Cheramie, an actor with a story as compelling as his roles. Hick beams us up on his rollercoaster journey from being a background actor to nailing a role in Obsidian, a full feature film. He narrates the leap of faith he took to study the craft, and his first-ever stint playing an alcoholic in a wheelchair. A daunting and challenging experience that proved enlightening and pivotal for his career.

In a candid chat with our co-host, TJ, we unearth the inspirational moments that drove him to pursue principal work, buoyed by a random encouragement on set. We unpack Plaideau's experiences with stand-in and photo doubling work, the grit, the grind, and the rewarding moments. As we meander through the ins and outs of the acting industry, we underline the importance of networking and seeking advice. But it's not all serious business, we also delve into the lighter side of the industry, the humorous moments in stand-up and improv, and how they can coax out the laughter bug within us. Join us for this riveting episode, packed with laughter, insights, and a hint to a surprise guest!
