This week on The Story & Craft Podcast, we sit down with Beulah Koale.  He made a name for himself as an actor in his native New Zealand before becoming familiar to a wider audience in the movie Thank You For Your Service, where he co-starred alongside Miles Teller.  Many know him as Junior Reigns in the CBS series Hawaii Five-0.  Now, Beulah is bringing his talent back to the big screen in the film Dual, where he co-stars alongside Karen Gillan and Aaron Paul.  We talk about his career, his time as a rugby player and our mutual love of Hawaiian food.  It’s a pleasure to bring you Beulah's story this week on Story and Craft.SHOW HIGHLIGHTS0:02:47 - Connections Between New Zealand and Polynesia0:09:23 - Childhood in New Zealand0:16:53 - Move to Hawaii for in-State Tuition0:25:51 - Common Backgrounds of Actors0:28:48 - Writers' Impact on Expression0:31:27 - Unique Movie Experience With Aaron Paul0:40:26 - Discussion About Hawaiian Cuisine0:46:42 - Seven QuestionsListen and subscribe on your favorite podcast app.  Also, check out the show and sign up for the newsletter at www.storyandcraftpod.com. ...#podcast #interview #BeulahKoale #Actor #Dual #HawaiiFive0CBS #NewZealand #RunItStraight #acting #actorslife #storyandcraft #voiceover

For over thirty years, Marc Preston has worked from both sides of the microphone, building a career as an actor and a nationally syndicated radio host. That unique perspective informs every conversation on Story and Craft with Marc Preston. This isn't a standard interview podcast; it's a series of deep, meandering, and genuinely connective dialogues. Marc's endless curiosity drives him to explore not just what his guests have done, but how and why they do it. He sits down with a compelling roster of creative minds-actors from film and television, voiceover artists, writers, musicians, and cultural influencers-to unpack the fascinating, often unseen work behind their public personas. Listeners are brought directly into a discussion that feels like eavesdropping on a great chat between old friends, one that naturally veers from technical craft to personal philosophy. The result is consistently entertaining and offers unexpected insights into the worlds of comedy, culture, and storytelling. Each episode of this podcast reveals the nuanced decisions, the years of practice, and the personal stories that shape art and performance. You'll hear about the awkward auditions, the breakthrough moments, and the simple love for the work that sustains a creative life.
