In this episode, host Rose Rosen, CSA, is joined by casting director Kimberly Skyrme and multi-talented actor and comedian Johnny Pemberton (Fallout, Superstore, 21 Jump Street). Johnny opens up about his unique journey from improv and stand-up to film and TV, offering a candid look at what makes auditions work—and what doesn’t.

Together, they explore the value of making bold choices, the evolving landscape of self-tapes, and why actors should lean into play and preparation. Plus, Johnny shares how watching bad movies made him a better performer, and why respecting your collaborators matters on and off set.
