On today's episode I have Seth Panitch, an award-winning actor, playwright, screenwriter, and filmmaker who recently published his first novel "Antique." Seth shared his career journey from writing Jaws 2 in third grade to becoming a theater professor at the University of Alabama, where he heads the MFA acting program. He discussed how the idea for "Antique" came from watching Antiques Roadshow and seeing how appraisers help people discover the value of family heirlooms, which led him to write a novel about identity and finding worth in both objects and people. Seth explained his writing process, which involved extensive research and multiple drafts over a year and a half, ultimately selling the book to Grand Central Publishing. He described his current book tour across 27 cities and shared that approximately 2,800 copies have been sold in the first five months, emphasizing that his main goal is to continue writing rather than seeking fame or bestseller status.
