About this listen

 When grit meets grace and talent meets momentum, you get two leading men whose journeys span continents, genres, and unforgettable performances ⭐. In this special dual-interview episode of Amazing Women and Men of Power: Legends and Icons Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow, Raven the Talk Show Maven brings together conversations with Luke Mitchell and Josh McKenzie—two actors redefining what it means to lead with heart, depth, and authenticity.

Luke Mitchell opens up about his evolution from Australian breakout star to fan favorite Dr. Mitch Ripley on NBC’s Chicago Med. He shares how stepping outside his comfort zone led him to acting, the mental toughness required to sustain a long-running role, and what viewers can expect as his character faces higher stakes and darker challenges this season.

Josh McKenzie then takes us from New Zealand to primetime television as he discusses his role as Shane Florence on NBC’s The Hunting Party. He dives into the philosophy behind complex characters, the moral questions driving the series, and how subtle moments—not just big wins—have shaped him as a performer, creator, and storyteller. In this episode, you’ll discover:
  • How Luke Mitchell found acting through self-growth, fear, and transformation
  • Life inside the Dick Wolf universe and what’s ahead on Chicago Med
  • Josh McKenzie’s path from award-winning roles to starring in gripping crime drama
  • The deeper themes of morality, identity, and humanity behind The Hunting Party
  • Why consistency, curiosity, and courage matter more than glamour in this industry
  • What keeps both actors grounded while navigating global success
Insightful, inspiring, and refreshingly honest, this episode celebrates resilience, creative evolution, and the power of staying true to yourself—on screen and beyond.
