Listen "ROMÁN ZARAGOZA: Creating An Inner Monologue"
Episode Synopsis
As a second-generation performer, Román Zaragoza was immersed in the industry from just six months old and quickly came to understand the realities of an actor's life. We dive deep into how his intensive theater work, especially his time at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival (OSF), kept him grounded and provided him with humbling, world-class ensemble training. Román details the entire process of booking his series regular role on the hit CBS comedy GHOSTS. He shares his initial skepticism about auditioning for a historical Native American character, and how his extensive experience with Zoom theater prepared him for his multiple callbacks. After booking the role, he provides insight into the immense pressure of finding your space in a huge, successful ensemble cast and how to create a memorable character. He also discusses how his theater background helped him book an exciting new voice role in the upcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender animated film. These are the unforgettable stories that landed Román Zaragoza right here.
