## Resource

Matt Cornwell — 130+ credits, 20+ years in the Southeast, and the man behind Get Taped's 350+ videos — joins Get Scene host Jesse Malinowski to unpack the real reason most actors aren't booking, the insurance backdoor inside casting offices, and why he refuses to coach during your self-tape. Plus: how Georgia still beats LA by $1.25B in tax incentives, his Steve Martin philosophy on staying in the top 10%, and the celebrity-set booking he believes belonged to another actor.
