Dorian Missick is one of those actors that directors and cast members alike look forward to seeing on the call sheet. Most recently, he delivered a brilliant performance as Jamal on ABC's "For Life", but before that you may have seen Dorian in "SouthLAnd", "Brian Banks", "Jinn", "Two Weeks Notice" -- or for the real fans -- as "Cool" in Pete Chatmon's debut feature "Premium". Pull a chair up and listen to two friends chop it up over the entertainment industry, the hustle to build a career, and whatever else pops up along the way.
