In this episode, we sit down with 25-year veteran actor Russell Andrews, known for his roles on TV, film, and stage. He shares his journey from acting to writing his debut novel, *Shoes*, a story inspired by a family he observed 38 years ago that has stayed with him all his life. Here's what we covered:
- From Acting to Writing: Russell discusses the transition from acting out others' stories to creating his own, with *Shoes* marking his debut as an author.
- The Origins of "Shoes": The inspiration came from a brief but impactful encounter with a family in a Salvation Army store, a moment Russell never wanted to forget.
- Creative Courage: Russell reflects on overcoming the fear of writing such a simple story without dramatic elements like drugs or violence.
- The Power of Storytelling: We explore how Russell's career has been centered around telling meaningful stories, whether on stage, screen, or in print.
- What’s Next: Russell shares upcoming projects, including a short film adaptation of "Shoes" and ongoing auditions.
