On this episode of ActorSpeak, Austin Basis continues to speak with actor Reggie Austin (On My Block, Agent Carter, Pretty Little Liars, Life Unexpected, The Starter Wife). 

In Part 2, we discuss hating headshots, commercials as our bread & butter, facets of the "diamond," not being attached to a result, asking for one more take, learning to watch himself onscreen, making the crew laugh, doing improv on Up All Night, and knowing his strengths & weaknesses. 

Born in Peekskill, NY- Reggie Austin was a Theater Studies major at Yale University. There he appeared in numerous stage productions, including starring roles in Macbeth and Othello. After graduating, Reggie moved to New York City, where he studied with Susan Batson and performed on stage and in several films & TV shows before relocating to Los Angeles in 2005. You may recognize Reggie from his extensive commercial experience, but he is best known for his recurring roles on Marvel's Agent Carter, Devious Maids, Pretty Little Liars, Life Unexpected, The Fosters, The Starter Wife, and most recently the Netflix series On My Block. He has appeared as a guest star on shows including Homeland, The Good Doctor, Bones, Desperate Housewives, Grey’s Anatomy, and NCIS: New Orleans, and in films including The Omen and Friends with Money. He also took his talents on the road for a few years with Acts The 3-Man Show, a full length action drama inspired by the New Testament book. His grace, charm & intelligence make him a great actor, but it’s his sincere goodness that makes him a great person, devoted husband & father, and friend.
