Summary

This week’s conversation is with Michael Rosenbaum, actor, producer, and comedian.

The diverse actor has worked in over twenty films, such as Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2, Hit and Run, Urban Legend, Sweet November, Bringing Down The House, Pool Hall Junkies and Sorority Boys.

Michael has worked with everyone from Bradley Cooper and Sylvester Stallone to Christopher Walken and Clint Eastwood.

He portrayed Lex Luthor on the smash hit Smallville for seven years and voiced The Flash on the hit animated series The Justice League Unlimited.

In this conversation Michael shares the highs and lows of being an actor in Hollywood – how he’s had to work on caring less what others think and focus on getting to the center of who he truly is and what matters most to him.

I appreciated Michael willingness to show vulnerability.

0:18.0	Whatever he's saying, you know, and it's like in that mirror because he's got to believe,
0:20.6	they got to believe he's under under. They can't know he's an undercover cop. They can't know he's an undercover cop.
0:25.0	And it's like that moment where I'm like,
0:27.0	you're here for a reason.
0:28.0	So you're going to either shit your pants and you're going to fall flat
0:31.0	and you're going to look an idiot and you're going to embarrass yourself
0:32.0	and you're never going to work again and you're looking idiot and you're going to embarrass yourself
0:32.5	and you're never going to work again.
0:33.9	And all those are fantasy.

0:37.7	They've never happened.
0:38.7	And you're going to go and by trade and trade.
0:44.8	All right, welcome back or welcome to the Finding Mastery Podcast.
0:52.4	I'm Michael Jervay and by trade and
0:54.7	training, I'm a sport and performance psychologist, and the whole idea for these
