Welcome to The Everyday Actor! My name is Emma Dayton Petersen and I am the creator and host of this podcast! I am a working actor in Los Angeles and created this podcast to share the stories of working actors and other industry professionals. Not the glitz and the glamour, but real everyday life. We don't shy away from mistakes, failures, and hard lessons. In fact, we embrace them. If you are a beginning actor looking to break into Hollywood or someone who is interested in what it means to be an actor, this is the podcast for you!

Black Lives Matter: Change is Needed in Film

Today’s episode is a little different. Normally I would do an interview style episode, but in light of the murder of George Floyd and the racism in America, it’s time for me to take a step back and pass the mic over to my friends in the film industry that are Black. Today you will hear from 7 amazing, passionate, and creative artists. They each have a unique story, a unique perspective, and a unique call to action for you, the listener. It’s time for change in the film industry and in the arts in general.
