Go Pluck Yourself! Because the Hollywood cavalry is not on its way to pluck you from obscurity like the proverbial claws of a claw machine. Only you are responsible for your little dent in this industry. No one is coming to pluck you out of the crowd... You have to pluck yourself.
Join actor Chris Gun as he chats to his creative pals about life as an actor navigating this wonderful industry.
These are the conversations that actors and filmmakers have between takes, between shoot dates, whilst waiting for their next gig. An insight into what life is really like for a creative on their way “up”.
This is Go Pluck Yourself - The Actor’s Pursuit

Oh my god guys, Elena Carapetis is on the podcast this week! I’m sorry it took so long for me to release this episode, but you know how it is.
Elena is a true icon of our industry. She’s a prolific writer, director, actor, theatre maker and mentor to so many. We get into gatekeeping in the industry, imposter syndrome, how she actually builds a character, the agent who told her as a teenager she’d never work because there were no Greek roles, and the rigour behind building a career anyway. It truly is a very special chat. Thank you for coming on, Elena. It was such a pleasure
