This Is How We Role—Five Stars!
“This Is How We Role with Rob Peterpaul” is a must-listen for actors. Rob brings such genuine curiosity and industry insight that every episode feels both inspiring and practical. His conversations with guests go far beyond the usual surface-level interviews—you get real stories, honest advice, and the kind of wisdom you can actually apply to your own care

Practical & practice-able tips!
Love this podcast for its practical advice! I always (mentally) jot down a few action items during each episode. I love how real people from the industry come to give their inside advice. It’s lighthearted (thanks to Robert!) but it’s based in the reality of what it’s like being an actor trying to navigate an ever-changing industry.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Can you Really Work as a Local Hire? feat. CD Kimberly Wistedt (The Hunting Wives, Outer Banks)

Q: What makes a local hire become a recurring or bigger role later on?

Be open to opportunities, stay collaborative, maintain strong community ties, perform well in initial roles, and treat every project as a potential growth step rather than a one-off gig.

Can you Really Work as a Local Hire? feat. CD Kimberly Wistedt (The Hunting Wives, Outer Banks)

Q: How should actors approach pitching and submitting to ensure they are considered as local hires?

Pitch clearly with project-specific details, keep submissions visible to agents/managers, and avoid forcing local status if it would cause financial hardship; transparency with reps and producers is key.

Can you Really Work as a Local Hire? feat. CD Kimberly Wistedt (The Hunting Wives, Outer Banks)

Q: For actors listening today who may have moved to a new market, what does being a local hire actually mean?

Being a local hire means living within a 60-mile radius of the producer's base so you can be on set with minimal travel, housing, or per diem needs; it's about feasibility and reliability for the shoot window.

How Actors Can Play the Long Game with Netflix Casting Director Julie Tucker

Q: When you're watching someone's audition, what catches your attention the most?

The ability to pull the viewer in and create a sense of being in the scene; a compelling beat or moment that makes the actor feel present and affects the viewer, even if they aren't right for that exact role.

What Great Actors Do Before Even Saying a Word: CD Tiffany Little Canfield (The Tesley Office)

Q: What was your first paid gig in the industry?

My first paid gig was actually casting on La Boheme, Baz Luhrmann's Broadway production, which started my career in casting rather than acting.
