What happens when you challenge the gatekeepers of your career?
On this episode of The Wealthy Actor Podcast, acclaimed actor, musician, and comedian Corey Landis pulls back the curtain on the opaque power structure of the casting world. Corey reveals the full, uncensored story of how he was kicked off the Actors Access platform—the single most important road to work—after daring to expose a loophole in their new user agreement.
You'll hear:
- The Showdown: An unfiltered breakdown of Corey’s surreal, 45-minute confrontation with Actors Access CEO Gary Marsh, detailing the ego and power dynamics that govern how actors are treated.
- The Blacklist Fear is Real: How one person's decision can isolate you from the entire job market, and why every actor needs to stop being afraid and start fighting back.
- The Unpaid Labor Trap: We kvetch (and commiserate) about the soul-crushing "busy work" of modern auditions—the endless self-tape protocols, the technical demands, and the frustrating reality that the pay is often less.
- The Mandatory New Skill Set: Why business and negotiation savvy are now non-negotiable for success, and how to start finding new revenue streams outside of traditional bookings.
- Survival and Longevity: Corey shares the surprising secret to enduring a seven-year dry spell without booking a job, and how he balanced a major music career (working with a legendary Beatles producer) to maintain his creative drive.
This episode is a must-listen for any actor ready to turn frustration into empowerment and take control of their career.

Ep#19 The Authentic Actor: How Puppets and a Mindset Shift Landed Caroline Partridge a Role!
Tired of trying to be what you think casting directors want? Get ready for a game-changing conversation with the brilliant stage and screen actress, puppeteer, and improviser, Caroline Partridge!
Caroline reveals how being her authentic, vulnerable self—even bringing out a puppet during a Zoom recall—landed her a role on a BBC children's series. She shares her incredible journey of using clown work to embrace vulnerability and overcome the fear of "the flop".
Caroline also pulls back the curtain on her own mindset transformation, including how she healed her "money story" and successfully secured a significant grant. She explains how listening to your intuition and taking "aligned action" can open doors you never knew were there. This episode is a must-listen for any actor ready to stop pleasing others and start shining as their truest, most powerful self.
