Craig shares how he made the leap into acting at 35 after years in direct sales, what it’s really like balancing performance work with crew gigs, and some memorable stories from sets including Peacemaker, The Suicide Squad, and more. They also talk about his unique skill set (Class A CDL, instrument-rated pilot, DiveMaster), life with his production-designer wife, the booming Georgia film industry, and how they first crossed paths on the Audiobooks at Sea cruise in 2024. A candid, behind-the-scenes conversation about late starts, dual careers, and the real day-to-day of making movies in the South.
