Another set day means navigating the tricky waters of Craft Services! Watch me flail wildly!

*”Looks” is the term we use on set to describe the hair, make-up, and costume departments’ crucial work.
Jamie writes about himself a lot. Yeah, he knows that can be irritating, but he hopes that people can learn from his mistakes, like when he had cancer and waited too long to chase his dream. Learn more about his battle with Leukemia (AML) in his on-going first draft of his book here.
