In this episode, Max sits down with a titan of the Australian entertainment industry, Mark Morrissey. As the founder and managing director of Morrissey Management, Mark has spent over 40 years managing top-tier talent, including the likes of Chris Hemsworth.

Whether you are a recent drama school graduate or an actor returning to the industry, Mark provides invaluable "no-nonsense" advice on what it takes to get (and keep) high-level representation. We dive deep into the reality of the actor-agent partnership, the shift toward self-testing, and the crucial timing of moving to the US market.

🌟 Key Topics Covered:

  • What Agents Look For: Intelligence, commerciality, and that "extra something" in the first 10 seconds.
  • The 5-Year Rule: Why developing an actor is a long-term investment.
  • The Self-Test Muscle: Why spending three hours on a self-test might actually be hurting your on-set performance.
  • The LA Leap: Why you should only "attend the party you’re invited to" when it comes to Hollywood.
  • Industry Outlook: Why the Australian film industry is currently "firing on all cylinders."
