In The Envelope: An Awards Podcast

For inspiration on how to empower yourself as an actor—a profession that doesn’t usually feel empowering—listen to “All Rise” star Simone Missick’s advice: “So many more actors would be so much happier with the process of going to work, the process of auditioning, which is another part of work, if we recognize the power that we do have to advocate for ourselves.” That includes advocating for actors’ safety, particularly when filming amid the COVID-19 pandemic. A Howard University graduate originally from Detroit, Simone appeared Off-Broadway and in bit TV and film roles before breaking out as Marvel’s first black female superhero, Misty Knight, on Netflix’s “Luke Cage.” She recently starred as a bounty hunter on Season 2 of Netflix’s sci-fi venture “Altered Carbon,” and now leads Greg Spottiswood’s CBS legal drama “All Rise” as L.A. County Superior Court judge Lola Carmichael. Read everything you need to know about COVID-19 resources for artists here: https://bit.ly/2KrDocU --- Backstage has been the #1 res
