"The List" - with Alimi Ballard - Part II
Wednesday, 1 December, 2021
There comes a time in one’s life when we all realize the importance of “saving the bees”. We see the true importance of life and leave behind the unnecessary attachments and unrealistic milestones. Alimi Ballard once again joins America’s Podcaster, Kurt Caceres, to talk about how the world teaches us to feel that we are always missing out on something. FOMO(Fear of Missing Out). All artists struggle with self doubt, something that stays with them their entire career, but also reminds them they still care and have a passion for their craft. There is no right or wrong when it comes to creating art, so self doubt will always be a byproduct of its creation. Alimi says his way of calming his nerves is to always go hard, overworking and overproducing. Do your best, then go home. Have fun, that’s the key to art, you can’t force art. He says, “Get into the habit of giving more than you are paid for”. These are words of wisdom that can be applied to any career field, but in the arts, there is no excuse for laziness. They then get into the little known, but truthful discussion about the existence of “the list”. Not of public record, rarely discussed, all the big Hollywood studios have actors on a virtual list. If you are lucky enough to be on this list, the doors of opportunity are far and wide, you are most often the first choice when casting a role. If one is not on the list, they must fight, scratch and claw for any scraps that may fall from the main dinner table. And finally, Alimi breaks down the difference between a Guest Star role and Series Regular on our favorite television shows. What it feels like for actors to walk on a set as a Guest Star as opposed to a Regular. He says, “your job is to burn their house down, the show already has started the fire, the guest star needs to come in as gasolina”!! Imagine walking into a families house for Thanksgiving dinner and you don’t know anyone, but you are expected to know where everything is, how to do everything without error, but also ask permission to use the bathroom, utensils, sit at the dinner table. The series regulars are a tight knit family, and the guest star is the stranger expected to come in and shake things up, be the life of the party. There is no greater pressure in the job world, and you will hear first hand from those whom live it.XXPlease Follow and Subscribe to the Podcast.
