Description:

Video rental store clerk to Hollywood actor — that's the journey
of Victor Mambu.

In this episode, the Indonesian-American actor and stuntman opens
up about the moments that shaped his career: the early 2000s
grind, the leap into major streaming productions, and the point
where he nearly walked away from acting for good.

We talk about identity, chasing your goals against the odds, and
how Pencak Silat — the martial art of his Indonesian heritage —
became part of his story.

A heartwarming, honest conversation you won't want to miss.
