A podcast about actors and film makers and what they do to “Make It” in this industry we all love so much. We typically tackle conversations around mental health, the jobs we do to pay the bills, the hard decisions we have to make like going to work or working on your audition, dreams, goals, sacrifices and much more.
Join me, Danny Barton, as I explore the journey of Actors Making it.
Gary Boulter on Acting as a Sole Trader and Corporate Entertainment
This weeks guest is the ever charismatic, loveable, laughable Gary Boulter. Gary is an actor, event MC, murder mystery host and just a wonderful guy. In this weeks we talk about Gary’s approach to keeping motivated, viewing his craft as a business and him being a sole trader.
There is also some interesting stories about sights he’s seen on walking tours around the rocks in Sydney and an “indecent proposal” in the blue mountains. We also talk about Gary’s experience with WeAudition.

Daniel Wilson on when acting is no longer a side hustle and following your heart
This week I chat with Aussie Actor, Daniel Wilson… who, has beaten me to a handful of commercial gigs that we both auditioned for over the years. Daniel and I first met on the set of Steve Khuory's AFTRS graduate film Bimbalo, it was a very different time! Since then, Daniels career has gone from strength to strength.
In this weeks episode we talk about Daniels decision at age 33 to finally follow his heart and pursue a career in the arts. 7 years on, Daniel is being cast in commercials and scripted work regularly. We also talk about the moment when he felt comfortable calling his full time job his side hustle and feeling like it’s the right time that acting took centre stage.

Shah Hussain from Pro MMA Fighter to Stunt Man and Actor
This week I speak with actor, stunt man, retired MMA fighter and family security detail Shah Hussain. Shah is no amateur when it comes to bright lights having had a successful career as a pro MMA fighter, however he’s swapped fighting rings for ring lights.
After years as a pro fighter and being encouraged by a friend Shah has made the transition to acting and stunt work later in life. Now in his 40’s with a family and also the security detail for an important family… Shah is trying his hand at acting and he's been pretty successful so far.
In this weeks episode we talk about his transition having never even considered acting, how he juggles family, work and the graft of making it as an actor and his unique perspective that at the moment, acting is still a hobby. Hope you enjoy this weeks episode of actors making it and as always, good luck on your own journey to making it.
