Lawrence Floyd Imdb
North Carolina bred Lawrence Floyd joins me for the 5th episode of The Creation Grounds. We discuss tons of useful info on why it's vital for artists to create their own work, a mindset or thought to get over fear of failure or of success, tips for actors in the audition room on what and what not to do and on working successfully with directors once you book the role.

Lawrence has directed me in multiple projects including one at the Signature theater in NYC and it was a pleasure having him on to share his wisdom, humor and spirit with you. Enjoy Episode 5!
