Summary

Jesse Malinowski sits down with Stacia Crawford — Netflix director, intimacy coordinator on ABC's RJ Decker, producer, and working actress — to pull back the curtain on what directors actually see before you say action and why actors who nail the self-tape sometimes get replaced on set. On Get Scene Unscripted, Stacia also breaks down IC rights every SAG actor should know, why saying lines wrong can legally breach a writer's contract, and the mindset shift that separates actors who last from ones who burn out.
