In this powerful episode, we sit down with Evan Nikolas Fields—the star behind Flynn in the Angel Studios sci-fi/fantasy series The Wayfinders—for what is officially his first-ever interview. And trust us… he delivers.
Evans opens up in a way most listeners never get to hear: honest, grounded, and refreshingly thoughtful. From the emotional challenges of becoming Flynn to the personal battles with self-confidence, this conversation goes far beyond the screen.
You’ll hear Evan talk about:
✨ How he connected to Flynn’s struggle with believing in himself
✨ The acting breakthrough he experienced in Ireland, thanks to a castmate
✨ Why performing for friends and family scares him more than a crowd
✨ The unforgettable on-set “giggles” moment that ruined multiple takes
✨ The middle school elective mistake that launched his acting journey
✨ The sacrifices behind the scenes—switching schools, endless auditions, and building tough skin
✨ The emotional reality of handling rejection in Hollywood
✨ The village behind him—agents, managers, PR, cast, and family
✨ Filming among ancient castles in Ireland
✨ His dream roles, his goals for the next five years, and a message for people chasing their own dreams
You’ll even hear some fun questions from Chris & Sandy’s 13-year-old son that bring out Evan’s playful side—pizza debates, sushi confessions, and his coolest career moment so far.
This episode captures Evan at the very start of his rise. It’s rare to witness an actor’s first long-form conversation… and we were honored to be the show he trusted.
If you enjoy honest stories, inspiring journeys, and hearing from the actors behind the characters, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.
Listen now and follow Evan Nikolas Fields as he steps boldly into the next chapter of his career.
