The Midlife Screenplay: Acting & Writing with Michael Ross

Everybody tells you to follow your dreams—but nobody ever tells you how. Welcome to The Someday Club, the definitive masterclass for anyone who has ever said, "Someday I’m going to..." and then watched the years slip away. Hosted by veteran actor, corporate executive, and professional voice talent Tom Cox (professionally known as Voiceover Tommy), this podcast is the ultimate roadmap for turning your "someday" into today.At 59 years old, Tom isn't trying to turn back the clock; he’s finally giving the younger actor inside him another chance to see what he can do. From earning his Actors' Equity card at just 19 on four days' notice in Fiddler on the Roof, to spending three decades climbing the corporate ladder as a high-level Sales Director, executive leader, and corporate "customer whisperer," Tom bridges the gap between elite performance art and sharp business strategy. Pulling from his raw personal background—overcoming a childhood with alcoholic parents, battling midlife depression, and navigating the emotional weight of pausing his creative ambitions to raise his family—Tom delivers an honest, humorous, and deeply inspiring take on personal transformation.Whether you are looking for an insider look at the voiceover industry, training tips from elite programs like The VO Dojo, or practical strategies to conquer the fear of failure, this show is your sanctuary. Featuring a heavy dose of dry Gen X humor and insights from Tom's journey as a 2026 iHeartRadio Top Host competitor, The Someday Club proves that it is never too late to break out of your comfort zone, master your mindset, and completely reinvent your life.Linktree: http://linketr.ee/VoTommyBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-right-buzz--6215244/support.

From Acting to Filmmaking: The Stories Behind Will Triplett & Jack MulcahyBehind every film is a story, and sometimes the most fascinating stories belong to the people creating them. In this feature, we shine a light on Will Triplett and Jack Mulcahy, two accomplished creatives whose careers have taken them from acting and music into producing, directing, writing and filmmaking. Will Triplett’s journey began with a professional acting career in New York City that spanned more than a decade.After booking a lead role in a national television series shortly after college, Will went on to build an impressive career that included national television appearances, Off-Broadway work at The Public Theater and starring roles in independent films. Along the way, however, he discovered that his real passion lay behind the camera — creating worlds, developing characters and telling stories that explore subjects he genuinely cares about.That transition led Will into screenwriting and filmmaking, with UNFINISHED, his fifth fully scripted feature, now heading towards a planned 2027 release. He is also working on his sixth feature script, BRACKISH, with principal photography targeted for the end of 2027.His producing and archival work has also taken him into major productions, including Apple TV's Omnivore, HBO's Dreambreak: Pickleball Story, Jay-Z's 4:44 music video and the Super Bowl commercial The Hard Way for Red Lobster. Alongside Will is Jack Mulcahy, a multi-award-winning actor and producer whose career spans more than five decades and more than 130 film and television credits. A lifelong New Yorker, Jack's artistic journey began with music before moving into acting, with one of his earliest film appearances coming in Porky's, which became a major box-office success.Jack would go on to star in the Sundance-winning independent classic The Brothers McMullen, while continuing to build an extensive career across film and television. His story is also one of resilience. Having been orphaned at 18, Jack faced significant challenges early in life, but continued to build a career in the arts and has now celebrated 23 years of sobriety.Today, Will and Jack are continuing that creative journey together. Jack recently produced Paul & Greg & Amelia, currently making its way through the festival circuit, while also producing and starring alongside Will in UNFINISHED. What connects both of their stories is a belief in the importance of collaboration, creativity and culture. As Will puts it, “It’s amazing what can be accomplished when no one cares who gets the credit.” For him, filmmaking begins with building a strong culture and allowing everything else to follow. From actors to writers, producers and filmmakers, their journeys demonstrate how careers can evolve when experience, passion and a willingness to tell meaningful stories come together. The Right Buzz explores the people behind the projects — the experiences, challenges, choices and passion that helped shape the careers we see today.Instagram: unfinishe_dfilmBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-right-buzz--6215244/support.
