Acting on The Walking Dead, Scenes with Angela Bassett & Finding His Musical Voice – Glenn Stanton

Actor and musician Glenn Stanton (aka Six String Guillotine), has acted alongside Angela Bassett, Morris Chestnut, and appeared on The Walking Dead. But after the Hollywood strikes and a self-discovery journey, he found himself staring down the darkest moment of his life… and choosing between a 9mm and a six-string guitar.

In this episode of What’s The Key?, we talk about:

• What it’s really like acting with Angela Bassett on 9-1-1
• Shooting on a mega-yacht with Morris Chestnut and finally feeling like “I belong here”
• Landing a 5-episode arc on The Walking Dead and the weird reality of “hurry up and wait”
• The mental health crash after the strikes & tying your identity to bookings
• The night he chose guitar over a gun – and found his real voice
• Creating Afroindigenous Hillbilly Music and why he refuses to “fit” country stereotypes
• Branding, outlaw archetypes & wearing black and gold as armor on stage
• Representation, permission, and why seeing someone like you doing the thing changes everything
