    Episode 2 with Garry MacLean: Mental Health, Method Acting and Documentary Film Making

    On this episode I spoke with Garry MacLean who is a Canadian based actor, writer and producer. I met Garry through Instagram when he reached out for support on a documentary film he is currently working on that explores Mental Health and Actors. Starting as a background actor in 2011, Garry has worked his way to leading roles in multiple independent projects as well as principal roles on major television shows. In 2014 he earned his first major television credit on season one of Wynonna Earp. His more recent accomplishment is a principal role on the pilot episode of The Secret History of the Wild West, airing on APTN. Right around the same time as Wynonna Earp, Garry delved into creating his own content by writing and producing his own short films. His most recent project was a multi-award winning short horror film titled Yard Sale. The film earned multiple best suspense/horror wins and a best actor nomination. Garry has also created his own YouTube talk show titled Talent Talk. Talent Talk is in its third season and interviews filmmakers & actors from around the globe.
