About this episode

Jesse Malinowski interviews Stephen Cofield Jr. about the challenges and experiences of being a working actor in New York City.

Jesse Malinowski sits down with Stephen Cofield Jr. — 70+ credits, FBI Most Wanted, Terrifier 3, The Equalizer — to get into the real business of a working actor in New York City, including the mixer where Stephen almost confronted a casting director and what she actually said when he got to the front of the line. On Get Scene Unscripted, Stephen breaks down how he lost a role to Michael B. Jordan, what it's really like to get your scene cut on set, why Broadway is the one credit still missing from his resume, and the mindset shift that separates actors who last from actors who burn out.
