Today we present part one of a very cool and inspiring guest series from Stage 32 member, Jaylen Moore. Jaylen is on one serious roll, having booked eight features since 2012. And it's no wonder - he can sing, dance, make you laugh while shooting a semi automatic weapon, perform stunts, and kick ass in the next. He also speaks Farsi, Dari, Arabic, Pashto, and Spanish - think of him as an "Action Hero and Renaissance Man" all in one. He can most recently be seen on Sea…

Today, the return of one of my favorite 32’ers, Bobby Reed. Bobby’s first guest post for Stage 32 (link below) was a huge hit, and he was kind enough to write another enthusiastic, motivational, no holds barred piece for the community to chew on. With nearly 70 credits to his name, including a staggering 30+ over the last three years alone, Bobby is as driven, motivated, and energetic as they come. You know how they say you gotta outwork the next guy? Well, …

Today’s guest post comes from actor and writer, Thom Vernon. This is a brave and fearless tale. I have a feeling Thom wouldn’t agree. But, that’s certainly how I see it. I bet you will too. This is also as blunt and honest a tale as ever been published in this space. Thom could argue that one with me all day, but he’d lose the fight, which, after reading this story, you might find difficult to believe, because Thom has more…
