Hey, this is john Leon Guerrero. Our guest today is Matt Pohlkamp. He's an actor who's appeared in a ton of short films, and has recently made his way into TV, movies and features. He's a mostly retired professional BMX rider, but he still gets on the bike and uses his time in the saddle much more deliberately now than ever to inform his craft as an actor. Not so filled with youthful exuberance as he wants was, he's more conscious of pace and flow, and he breaks down for us how this clarity translates to his artistic delivery.
