Join host Jim Malliard on The Malliard Report as he interviews actor, writer, director, and Pittsburgh native James Quinn about the art of acting. Hear about Quinn's experience breaking into the industry in the nineties, how technology and social media have changed the industry, the difficulty of accepting rejection, and how to channel the nerves of auditioning into positive energy when a part is accepted. Quinn and Malliard also discuss using real-life emotions in storytelling, the differences between boxing and Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), navigating the film industry from idea to festival, the importance of being able to tell the same story with less, the upsides of independent film, the current rise of independent artists, and the benefits of podcasts versus radio. Tune into The Malliard Report to get the latest insights on the art of acting with James Quinn.
