🎬 Taping Ears & Tricking Litigators: How This Boston Professor Reclaimed His Acting Passion | Michael Roberts
In this episode of I Saw You In That Thing I Saw You In, host Stephen Lomer tracks the wildly diverse, non-linear journey of actor Michael Roberts.
Michael is a tenured professor who balances founding a master's degree program in occupational therapy with a jam-packed schedule of independent film, commercial shoots, and high-stakes immersive dinner theater. He shares hilarious, practical insights on what it takes to transition from a commanding stage theater presence to the subtle nuances of screen acting, proving that life in your mid-50s is the absolute peak time to embrace the craft.
Inside This Episode:📌 De-Theatering the Actor: Michael shares the jarring realization of seeing his first screen performance after years of trying to "hit the back row" with large gestures and booming theater projection.
📌 The Oscar Multiplier: How one split-second mistake on the set of the Academy Award-nominated film The Holdovers with Paul Giamatti gave Michael his perfect "clearing the shot" background moment.
📌 The Red-Eared Gaffer Fix: A genius behind-the-scenes trick from the set of Sleepwalkers involving a fog machine, a bright backlight, and using gaffer's tape to hold down his giant ears from glowing red on the monitor.
📌 Telehealth Sign Language: Quick-thinking on a Blue Cross Blue Shield commercial where Michael had exactly 10 minutes to learn authentic sign language lines right before the cameras rolled.
📌 Immersive Murder Mystery Strategy: Michael reveals the grueling psychological prep required for a three-day Keith & Margo's Murder Mystery weekend in Vermont—including how he successfully fooled a true-crime novelist and a litigator by planting fake backstories on a dinner menu.
📌 The "Quincy Can't Escape" Sitcom Protocol: Breaking down the meta-concept student short film where Michael played the quintessential set-upon sitcom dad dealing with a co-star whose brainwashing randomly wears off mid-scene.
📌 Act Like You’re Not a Dirtbag: Crucial, grounded advice for young actors on networking, memorizing lines, showing up on time, and stuffing down your "inner dirtbag" to treat every grip, PA, and crew member with ultimate respect.

🎬 Joe Tyler and Gabby Carli: The Slapstick & Stage-Crashing Origin Stories
📌 Gabby's Bold BeginningsGabby shares how a childhood visit to the Mall of America turned into her first taste of the stage when she bypassed the hand-raising protocol to join a Strawberry Shortcake book reading uninvited.
📌 Joe's Jim Carrey ParadigmJoe reflects on getting into trouble as a kid and associating the slapstick immunity of Jim Carrey with absolute love. After transitioning from a relentless stand-up comedy grind due to COVID lock-downs, he jumped feet first into the screen acting world.
📌 The Reality of the Regional Casting EcosystemThe College Scene Float: An analytical breakdown of why the massive, well-funded college cinema scene in Boston acts as a financial and experiential baseline for regional talent.
📌 The "East Coast" MindsetJoe offers a beautifully blunt perspective on working in the Philadelphia and New England indie markets—where you can be completely annoyed by someone's personality but deeply admire their relentless work ethic.
📌 The "Monstrosity" in the Editing RoomStephen addresses the elephant in the room: a shared independent film project that both guests starred in. While principal photography felt normal and collaborative despite a brutal day of running through freezing rain in a floral dress, Gabby and Joe reveal how an absolute disaster unfolded inside the editing room. They discuss the frustration of having your highest quality acting lumped into a subpar final cut, and the professional necessity of extracting clean footage for your reel without promoting the project itself.
📌 Fake Engagements & Viral Valentine's DaysIn one of the show's funniest segments, Gabby and Joe recount an immersive murder mystery dinner theater gig where they were cast as a married couple on Valentine's Day. Armed with a prop ring, they took to social media to stage a highly convincing, completely unannounced engagement that sent Joe's Philadelphia family into an absolute frenzy of premature congratulations.
📌 Set Etiquette Masterclass: The Extra DilemmaJoe pulls zero punches when breaking down high-stakes set etiquette, issuing a direct plea to background actors and PAs: Do not kill principal actors with small talk right before a major three-page monologue. Gabby balances the scales by offering an essential protocol for extras on how to observe, listen, network gracefully, and always be the person on set carrying spare gum or snacks.
📌 Breaking News & What's NextThe Director's Chair: Gabby reveals her brand-new appointment as a theater director for a youth after-school program, kicking things off with The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. She also tracks her return to Boston Fashion Week in October.
📌 The Audition EngineJoe details his aggressive machine-like strategy of executing up to 10 auditions a week with a strict 48-hour turnaround on self-tapes, including an upcoming JFK Jr. biopic shoot in Connecticut and the feature Life's Queer.

🎬 A Masterclass in Media Longevity, Storytelling, and Creative Passion | Tim Estiloz
Tim is a two-time Emmy Award-winning journalist, entertainment reporter, film critic for the Critics Choice Association, illustrator, and proud SAG-AFTRA actor. From high-stakes Hollywood press junkets to improvising with Academy Award winners on local sets, Tim's career is a blueprint for thriving as a multi-hyphenate creator.
Inside This Episode:📌The Ben Affleck Collaboration on Gone Baby GoneTim details booking his first speaking role as a field reporter. He shares how an ad-libbed question he threw to Academy Award nominee Amy Ryan during a chaotic neighborhood scene became the exact take Ben Affleck kept in the final masterpiece.
📌 The Supernatural Grind of The UnholyTim reflects on shooting a heavy courtroom-style scene alongside Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Cary Elwes, squeezing his production days in right before the 2020 pandemic lockdowns.
📌 Facial Acting in GodmotheredTim breaks down working on the Disney+ feature alongside MADtv alumnus Stephanie Weir and Ghosts star Richie Moriarty, where the director required him to anchor a scene purely through wordless comic reactions.
📌 The Two Sides of Robert Downey Jr. & Meryl StreepTim paints a vivid picture of interviewing Robert Downey Jr. twice—first during a deeply difficult personal period while promoting The Shaggy Dog, and later in 2008 for Iron Man, where a re-energized, grateful RDJ gave a poignant answer about his personal struggles and shared an unforgettable fist-bump.
📌 Meryl Streep Holds the LineA legendary junket story from The Devil Wears Prada where Meryl Streep explicitly stopped rolling cameras to finish a conversation with Tim about his mother's birthday, completely defying the assembly-line pressure of the studio crew.
📌 The Power of SAG-AFTRA ProtectionTim highlights the ultimate value of union membership with a tangible recent example from the Netflix series The Perfect Couple starring Dakota Fanning. After a background reporting scene resulted in his improvised dialogue making the final sound mix, the union went to bat to ensure his role was properly upgraded to a speaking part with full residual protections.
📌 The Influencer vs. Journalist DilemmaTim pulls zero punches on the shifting landscape of Hollywood press junkets, explaining how major studios frequently favor TikTok and Instagram influencers over veteran journalists. He shares a hilarious, high-stakes encounter with Shirley MacLaine, who was left furious by a young influencer's lack of research—only for Tim to save the day by dropping deep-cut knowledge on her 1961 classic The Children's Hour.
📌 Giving Back: Boston Children's HospitalBeyond the bright lights of Hollywood, Tim reflects deeply on his 13-year journey serving as an art specialist at Boston Children's Hospital (now based at the Waltham branch). He opens up about the humbling resilience of pediatric patients and the pure joy of using his illustration skills to bring smiles to kids in intensive care.
