On this episode of The Staffa Corner Podcast, we sit down with actor Jaden Lucas Miller to trace his journey from the Raleigh stages to a CBS daytime set and a gripping turn on Hulu's Reasonable Doubt. Jaden unpacks what it takes to be taken seriously at 20, all while juggling classes and call sheets. He opens up about his early breaks in short films, the method mindset that treats characters as both an escape and a mirror, and how his mother's persistence helped build a real team around him.
Jaden credits mentors like Clifton Davis and Tamara Tunie as guiding lights, teaching him that thick skin and a generous spirit are essential tools in the industry. From the fast-paced world of soaps on Beyond the Gates to the tonal shift of Reasonable Doubt, he shares how he separates self from role and keeps his performances grounded in respect for the real-life stories behind them. If you care about craft, resilience, and the power of mentors and family, this conversation is for you.
