Paul Ben-Victor: The Wire, Scorsese & Surviving Hollywood’s Grind

Описание: From The Wire to The Irishman to Pam & Tommy, actor Paul Ben-Victor has built one of Hollywood’s most recognizable careers and he’s done it with grit, passion, and zero ego. In this explosive and hilarious episode, Paul joins Alyshia Ochse to share decades of wild audition stories, on-set lessons from working with Martin Scorsese, and why he loves being typecast.

💥 In this episode, Paul opens up about:
🎭 Screaming in bathrooms before auditions to get “that raspy edge”
🎬 Working with Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, and Martin Scorsese
🎤 His philosophy on self tapes and why “you’ve got to fight for the job”
🎸 Letting his inner “musician” guide his performances
🏆 And why there’s “no silver” in acting — only gold

Whether you know him as Spiros from The Wire or the scene-stealing tough guy from The Irishman, Paul’s raw honesty and no-BS approach will leave you fired up to take creative risks, stay grounded in your craft, and embrace the roles that find you.
