Episode 01: May Calamawy '08 on Making it as an Actress, 2022-03-15
Overview
May Calamawy was bound and determined to become an actress. She teased the idea of studying industrial design to appease her family, but when she got accepted at Emerson, she chased her dream all the way from Bahrain to Boston. From a role on Golden Globe-winning 'Ramy' to an upcoming part on Disney+ and Marvel's 'Moon Knight' (out March 30, 2022), May is one to watch, but the path to those projects wasn't exactly a straight shot. She talks with Georgette about that path and an actor's journey to authenticity - from the roles you attract, the people you work with, and the importance of trusting your gut.
