🎙️ Episode 12: Christian DeMarais…is in the Waiting Room!
In this episode of In the Waiting Room, I sit down with Christian DeMarais for a grounded conversation about craft, patience, and the quiet discipline required to stay in the work.
We talk about the realities of building a career over time, the difference between visibility and longevity, and how personal conviction—artistic, moral, and spiritual—shapes the choices actors make, often outside the spotlight. Christian reflects on training, collaboration, and the less glamorous but essential parts of sustaining a life in the arts.
This episode isn’t about shortcuts or hype. It’s about showing up, staying honest, and understanding the trade-offs that come with committing to the long game.
