Facial Hair Barometer (Chapter 1: Putting the Cart Before the Horse)

What’s your barometer for knowing if you’re winning — or failing? Deadlines? Bank account? Me? Once upon a time... I used my facial hair.

In the final episode of Chapter One: Putting the Cart Before the Horse, I'm going to take you from a shady “producer” promising cash in Malibu to squatting in a borrowed guest house under security cameras — and explain how a half-wild beard became the unofficial countdown clock for my first feature film, Vengeance Turns: The Motion Picture.

You’ll hear what happened when I gambled on shady money, how background acting turned into a self-made film school, why deadlines must be broken sometimes, and how losing a beard almost cost me a gig on The Mandalorian.

This is the last stop before Chapter Two: Everything Falls Apart! so if you’re just jumping in, you can start here, then binge back through Episode Zero and the rest of Chapter One. Check out the companion newsletter for this episode to check out pictures and video showing the whole facial hair timeline and a lot more!
