Sometimes, it can be difficult to put ourselves in the shoes of the people we read about in Church history or in the scriptures. We live in such a different world today that their experiences can be hard for us to grasp. But stepping into others\u2019 shoes is what Casey Elliott often does on stage, and the experience has changed him. From playing Joseph Smith in the upcoming film \u201cGreen Flake\u201d to Peter in the concert film of the oratorio \u201cLamb of God,\u201d Elliott captures the humanity of these people and brings them to life. In this week\u2019s episode, we explore what this humanity means to Elliott and how his perception of history has deepened through acting.

\u201cCreative ideas in a very real sense are bits of intelligence, bits of spiritual stuff that wasn\u2019t created, it just is there and, as creatives, we have the immense blessing and opportunity to take that and to form it into an identity. And that identity, once formed, almost takes on a life of its own.\u201d
