Episode 2 with Garry MacLean: Mental Health, Method Acting and Documentary Film Making

53m · Lights On! Mental Health Podcast · 04 Sep 22:16

On this episode I spoke with Garry MacLean who is a Canadian based actor, writer and producer.  I met Garry through Instagram when he reached out for support on a documentary film he is currently working on that explores Mental Health and Actors.  

Starting as a background actor in 2011, Garry has worked his way to leading  roles in multiple independent projects as well as principal roles on  major television shows. In 2014 he earned his first major television  credit on season one of Wynonna Earp. His more recent accomplishment is a  principal role on the pilot episode of The Secret History of the Wild  West, airing on APTN.

Right  around the same time as Wynonna Earp, Garry delved into creating his  own content by writing and producing his own short films. His most  recent project was a multi-award winning short horror film titled Yard  Sale. The film earned multiple best suspense/horror wins and a best  actor nomination. Garry has also created his own YouTube talk show  titled Talent Talk. Talent Talk is in its third season and interviews  filmmakers & actors from around the globe.
