Published 1 week ago
Description

From church dance teams to the Michael Jackson biopic, actor–dancer–writer–producer Rhyan Hill has lived a wild Hollywood journey—and he’s just getting started.

In this episode of Call Sheet Confessions, host Mia LePage sits down with Rhyan to talk about:

Landing the role of Tito Jackson in Michael and what really happened in the room with Antoine Fuqua, Graham King, and Prince Jackson
Learning guitar from scratch, studying Tito’s mannerisms, and performing in front of hundreds of background actors
Growing up as a theater kid at Amazing Grace Conservatory and balancing public school, auditions, and dance training
Dancing in Childish Gambino’s “This Is America”, performing at the Super Bowl with Kendrick Lamar, and working NBA games
Why he chose to study Creative Producing at Chapman University instead of majoring in acting
Turning a classroom script into his new comedy film “Couldn’t Be Me”
The ego problem in the industry, fake “friendships,” and his worst audition story (including that infamous singing disaster)
Real talk advice for aspiring actors, dancers, writers, and producers on creating your own opportunities instead of waiting for the call
If you’re a performer, filmmaker, or anyone trying to build a multi‑hyphenate creative career, this conversation will light a fire under you.
