2025/07/31
Ally Walker, actress, writer, director, and now debut author joins me to discuss her new book THE LIGHT RUNNER.You might know Ally from TV and film, most notably as Agent June Stahl on SONS OF ANARCHY, but Ally hasn't just been in front of the camera her entire career.
As well as being in popular shows like PROFILER, THE PROTECTOR, LONGMIRE, GHOSTED, LA LAW, THE SHIELD, BOSTON LEGAL, LAW AND ORDER SVU, and SONS OF ANARCHY, she's been in the directors chair behind films like FAR MORE and FOR NOMAN WHEREVER YOU ARE.
Ally was discovered in a small diner while utilizing her degree in biology as a biochemist sequencing DNA and working in labs when she landed her first role. From there, she was in big movies like UNIVERSAL SOLDIER and more.Now, she's a debut author exploring the metaphysical and alternate realities in THE LIGHT RUNNER.
In this episode we talk acting, writing, directing, producing screenplays, and what it takes to make it in Hollywood and the publishing industry.
