On the Mic with Tim Drake

On today's episode I am LIVE from Los Angeles Comic Con with actor Sean Carrigan!  I have had the pleasure of getting to know Sean over the past year as he is one of the stars of our latest film, "Demonetize"! I have always been so intrigued by Sean's backstory of a professional boxer turned actor and invited him to join me for the live show to tell that story.  We talked about growing up on the East Coast and finding his way to boxing, striving to become a professional, and then making the move to chasing acting full time. We also talked about the roles that pushed him forward as an actor, getting the role on "The Young and the Restless", working on "American Vandal" and "All-American", lessons on "Ford v Ferrari", being star stuck ahead of an upcoming role, and so much more.  A huge Thank You to Sean Carrigan for taking the time to join me for this LIVE show. Sean also just became a Dad and brought the whole family to the convention! Make sure to follow Sean on all of the links at www.onthemicpodcast.com Thank you for having us, LA Comic Con! Thanks, Sean!  Enjoy the episode. 

On today's episode we are coming to you LIVE from San Diego Comic-Con celebrating 10 Years at SDCC with special guests Rob Kutner, Mike Heidbreder, and J.B. House! While Rob, Mike and J.B. are all returning guests to the show, I felt that it was very fitting to celebrate my 10 Year anniversary show with three of the people who are a big part of SDCC to me and I was thrilled they were all able to be a part of this.  We talked about how I initially met each of them and became acquainted with the podcast and SDCC, our shared love for animation, the animated shows we would love to work on, characters we relate the most to, favorite SDCC memories, Rob's upcoming book "Deadpool Affirmations", and so much more.  A huge THANK YOU to San Diego Comic-Con for allowing me to be a part of this show for the past 10 years. It is absolutely wild to me that 12 years ago I could've only dreamed of attending SDCC, and suddenly, I was a part of it. Also a huge Thank You to Rob, Mike, and J.B. for taking the time to join me on the episode this year. It meant the world to me. Make sure to follow them on all of the links at www.onthemicpodcast.com and pre-order Rob's "Deadpool Affirmations" book!  Thanks, SDCC, Rob, Mike, and J.B.! Enjoy the episode!

On today's episode I have actor Jesse Posey! I've had the honor of getting the know Jesse over the past few months while moderating panels and Q&A's for the film "Screamboat" that Jesse is one of the stars of. I was intrigued to know more about Jesse's career and growing up in an acting family and was thrilled to have him join me on the podcast.  I talked with Jesse about growing up in Santa Clarita, playing baseball and skateboarding as kid, finding his way into acting, what he's learned from watching his dad and brother's careers, how he approaches acting, acting in the "Selena" series, his upcoming project The Midnight Sector, and so much more!

On today's episode I have comic book writers and filmmakers, Ben and Max Berkowitz!  I first came across the Berkowtiz Brothers almost a year ago when I briefly met them at a signing for their comic book, "The Writer". I'll be honest, I wasn't at the signing for them, but for another comic and decided to pick theirs up while I was there. As soon as I dove in I was hooked! I talked with Max and Ben about growing up on the East Coast, their first introduction to comic books, getting involved with entertainment, earliest influences and the first comics they bought, developing "The Writer" and bringing Josh Gadd on board, pitching to Dark Horse Comics, their social marketing company Not A Billionaire, and so much more! A huge Thank You to Max and Ben for taking the time to join me on the show. I've been wanting to have them on the show for a while now and was thrilled we were able to make it happen. You can pick up the paperback of "The Writer" now, which includes the full story and all of the issues in one book simply by clicking on the links at www.onthemicpodcast.com Make sure to follow the Berkowitz Brothers on all of the links at www.onthemicpodcast.com as well.  Thanks, Ben and Max!

On today's episode of the podcast, I have actress Allison Pittel! I got to know Allison a little bit over the past few weeks while moderating the Q&A's for "Screamboat" at AMC. Allison is the star of the film, playing the "final girl" Selena! I was excited to have Allison join me on the show to get to know more about her and her career.  I talked with Allison about growing up in Michigan, her early love for acting and performing, taking a break and studying economics and considering going to law school, moving to New York and finding her way back to acting, getting cast in "Stream" and “Screamboat”, making the move to Los Angeles, and so much more!  A huge Thank You to Allison for taking the time to join me on the show.
