In this episode of The Actor’s Instrument: Tools for the Long Game, host Hassiem Muhammad sits down with actor Callum Adams (FBI, City on a Hill, The Blacklist, BritBox’s I Jack Wright) for a candid conversation about building a sustainable acting career across continents.
Callum shares his journey from growing up in Scotland and Vermont to training in London and working in both the U.S. and the U.K. He opens up about the realities of pay differences in British vs. American TV, navigating representation, and finding balance in a career full of uncertainty. The two also reflect on the importance of empathy in storytelling, the challenges of breaking through in theater and television, and what it really takes to play the long game in the entertainment industry.
