Entertainment Lawyer, Joshua Lastine, joins me for episode 093 of Actorcast! Many actors don't consider the importance of having a good lawyer at their side when negotiating contracts, which is a big reason why I wanted to have Joshua on the show. We talk about what an entertainment lawyer does, when and how actors should look for legal representation, and what questions actors should be asking lawyers. We also discuss the implications that emerging technologies like artificial intelligence have on actors' careers from a legal perspective.
