About this episode
Scott Butler has the distinction of breaking into not one, but two, very difficult industries. He’s a former video game artist who got laid off in the 2008 recession and then decided to become an actor. On this episode of the Second Act Actors podcast, Scott tells me about motion capture work, overcoming stage nerves and moving on from being “flying Jesus”.
We trace Scott’s journey from video games to acting and Scott details how he’s handled transitioning into a career that exposes your insecurities to the world. He gives me a behind-the-scenes scoop on his latest film Hypochondria and explains how he got the role without even auditioning.
Listen out for Scott’s hilarious story from early on in his career where he discovers mid-shoot why he booked the part and for his practical advice to older actors who are trying to break into the industry.
