Indie Filmmaker Spotlight (EXTRA): Roy Williams, Jr. | Real 2 Reel Podcast

In this exclusive Real 2 Reel Extra clip, actor Roy Williams Jr. (The Lord of All Future Space and Time) opens up about the realities of moving from Florida to Hollywood to pursue his acting dreams.

Roy shares invaluable advice for aspiring actors, explaining why he believes "your network is your net worth" and how he overcame his introverted nature to build lasting industry connections. He also discusses his early days working on student films at USC and UCLA to build his resume and reveals how a connection from a commercial shoot 8 years ago led to his starring role in his latest film.

Roy also dives into his growth as an actor, working on projects like Being Mary Jane and The Act, and how he now gives back by teaching acting through a nonprofit serving underserved students. Inspiring, honest, and full of game, this is a must-watch for actors and indie creatives navigating the industry.
