Actors — if you’re booking co-stars but not series regulars, this episode is for you.

In this new LIVE format of The Working Actor NYC Podcast, Benjamin Howes and Patrick Richwood break down real-world acting intel from casting director workshops, answer live audience questions, and dive deep into one of the most confusing topics for actors:

👉 Type vs Brand

What actually gets you in the room?
What makes casting remember you?
And what shifts your career from co-star to series regular?

This episode includes:

- Field reports from casting director sessions with Betsy Fippinger, John Ort, Rachel Reiss, and more
- The key difference between “booking the guest star” and becoming a series regular
- A clear, practical breakdown of type vs brand (and why most actors get it wrong)
- Live Q&A from actors navigating their careers in real time

If you’ve ever felt stuck between “I can do everything” and “Why am I not getting called in?” — this conversation will give you clarity and direction.
