Dance Floors To Hollywood Doors W/ Woody McClain | The Underground Lounge S4 E.3

Author: THEORY COMMUNICATIONS June 24, 2026 Duration: 1:27:35

Actor, producer, and fan-favorite star Woody McClain joins The Underground Lounge for an unforgettable conversation about the journey from viral internet sensation to one of Hollywood's most recognizable faces.

Woody reflects on the early days of creating comedy skits online, touring as a dancer, and betting on himself before landing the role of Bobby Brown in The New Edition Story and The Bobby Brown Story. He also shares how stepping into the role of Kane on Power Book II: Ghost helped him break free from being typecast and introduced audiences to a completely different side of his talent.

The conversation dives deep into fatherhood, raising twins, navigating Hollywood as an introvert, and the lessons he's learned from years of auditioning, rejection, and perseverance. Woody opens up about producing his own projects, developing a romantic comedy, and why understanding the business side of entertainment is just as important as performing in front of the camera.

Along the way, the crew shares hilarious stories about dance crews, club nights, social media fame, waiting around on movie sets, and the evolution of content creators becoming legitimate Hollywood stars. From Kevin Hart's impact on his career to the importance of relationships in the industry, Woody delivers gems for anyone chasing a dream.

This episode is packed with laughs, inspiration, behind-the-scenes Hollywood stories, and real talk about building a lasting career in entertainment.
