The Compass, a podcast dedicated to the stories of working actors, writers, directors, designers, dancers, musicians, composers, and playwrights, welcomes actor James Davis February 24.

Created by actor Leah Walsh, the podcast documents the lives of artists navigating the waters between art and commerce. Each week, Playbill.com highlights Walsh’s latest episode with industry professionals who share their own stories about making art, making a living, and maintaining inspiration.

This week, Davis (currently appearing Off-Broadway in The Mother of Invention) shares his thoughts on avoiding the dark side, being open to any path as an actor, New York City, taking time to uproot everything and travel, the support of family, and collaboration.

The Compass can be downloaded for free on iTunes.
