On this episode of The Story & Craft Podcast, we sit down with actor, Aleks Paunovic from the AMC show “Snowpiercer!”  Aleks is known for his roles in shows like Hawkeye, iZombie and Van Helsing.  Aleks shares his inspiring journey from living out of a van and eating noodles from 7-Eleven to becoming a successful actor…who didn’t even become serious about acting until he was 40 years old.  He covers his background in boxing and being in a heavy metal band, as well as his advocacy for mental health awareness. It was a great chat that also touches on his experiences on set, as well as his passions and his joy in the craft.SHOW HIGHLIGHTS04:42 From Music to Acting05:45 Early Acting Experiences13:04 Transition to Serious Acting19:14 Family Background and Influences23:46 Career Highlights and Collaborations26:41 Meeting Arnold Schwarzenegger30:25 Playing Complex Characters31:59 Van Helsing and Snowpiercer32:40 Boxing and Acting33:13 Muhammad Ali and Personal Heroes35:46 Working with Anthony Hopkins40:00 Mental Health and Canned Water Initiative44:41 Upcoming Projects and Reflections45:29 The Seven QuestionsListen and subscribe on your favorite podcast app.  Also, check out the show and sign up for the newsletter at  www.storyandcraftpod.com...#podcast #AleksPaunovic #Snowpiercer #AMC #Actor #Acting #Hawkeye #iZombie #VanHelsing #Heavy Metal #MentalHealth #actorslife #storyandcraft
