From the sports desk in Poland to center stage in Superman, actor Martin Harris proves that following your heart isn’t just brave—it’s transformational. In this inspiring and cinematic conversation, Martin opens up about how a personal moment with Kobe Bryant helped him leave behind a successful career in sports journalism to pursue acting full-time.
We get into the unexpected—like arriving on set without knowing he was playing a Boravian General to the President in the latest DC Universe film, Superman. But that’s just one chapter of his journey.
Martin has a long list of film and television credits, including major hits like Red Notice, Stranger Things, and The Gray Man, and lent his voice to Kruger in the blockbuster video game Call of Duty—a true storyteller in every medium.
Plus, he shares what speaking 13 languages has taught him about life, legacy, and embracing the unknown.
This episode is a reminder that reinvention doesn’t come with a script—you write it as you go. And if you’re waiting for a sign to follow your passion? Consider this.
