Ever wonder how the vibrant Chicago film scene of the 80s shaped the careers of some of Hollywood's notable actors? Join us as we welcome James DuMont, an actor, producer, and self-tape audition specialist, who takes us on a nostalgic journey from his early days dancing in "Blues Brothers" to a pivotal role on Broadway. At just 15 years old James earned his SAG card in the iconic film The Blues Brothers. He came up in the film industry with actors like John Cusack and Jeremy Piven. James' stories from his high school years, where he balanced a love for acting and baseball, will transport you back to a time when the Chicago film industry was booming. This episode is a heartfelt tribute to the perseverance and passion that drive creative expression beyond the allure of fame and fortune.
