EPISODE 16 - Brian Sutherland on Breaking All the Rules

Brian Sutherland is a TV and film actor (Big Sky, Pig, Z Nation, Walker: Independence). He is a Pacific Northwest boy, like Julian who's been working professionally for over two decades. Brian sits down with Julian to discuss how it all got started. Julian discovers that Brian was the catalyst for him to become an actor, after walking into his trailer, while PA'ing on a commercial shoot in WA, that Brian was acting on, and asking him how he got there. Brian took Julian under his wing and offered him all the advice he had. Fast forward a couple months, and these two were on set together acting in Julian's first move, "Fat Kid Rules the World," directed by the one and only Matthew Lillard. Brian talks about his process for getting into character(s). How heavily he leans into the truth of the circumstances, and how he doesn't really care how it comes across to anyone else as long as it gets the performance across how he intended it to come across. He talks about having 18 agents all over the country and finding a way to break all the rules with whatever conditioned approach acting schools try to impose on us. He talks about his coaching practice and how he tries to get his students to break all the rules as well, so they can find something honest inside their efforts. Brian has become one of the most high profile independent film actors in the PNW and is an asset to every film set he goes on. His work is a testament to his craft. And he is most certainly somebody to look out for.
