Out of everyone chasing this dream, most don't stay. Not because they aren't talented. Because they don't want the lifestyle. Jay Walker didn't grow up dreaming of acting. He was on track to take over a business. He studied economics and had a clear path.

We're excited to announce our next guest is Jay Walker who you may recognize as the player character from Battlefield 6!

Matt & Jeff here, We wanted to thank @gideonemery.bsky.social for joining us for the Season 2 premiere of The Actors Volume. The conversation was exactly what we built The Actors Volume for. He showed up with kindness, honesty, and generosity.

Matt and Jeff here, A few days in, and we still can’t believe how much value @gideonemery.bsky.social packed into this episode. If you haven’t watched Gideon's interview yet, you’re missing out!

@gideonemery.bsky.social's episode is now live on The Actors Volume. Ten years working professionally before moving to LA. Starting over in a new market. Recalibrating from stage to camera. Finding a creative home in performance capture.

Gideon's article is now live! Before the Season 2 premiere of The Actors Volume, take a deeper look at his journey in his featured article.

"Lead with love." That's one of the lessons Gideon Emery has carried with him throughout his career.

He realized quickly that what worked on stage didn't automatically translate to film. Drama school gave Gideon range. Vocal strength. Movement awareness. The discipline of auditioning constantly.

Matt & Jeff here. We’re kicking off Season 2 with @gideonemery.bsky.social, someone we’ve worked alongside in performance capture and genuinely admire. youtube.com/shorts/XV89-...

Ohy hey, Bluesky! Matt and Jeff here. Welcome back to The Actors Volume.
