About Us
This Isn’t Theory.
This Is Lived Experience.
Joshua Triplett is a full-time working actor, producer, director, and coach with over two decades inside the entertainment industry.
After booking more than 150 national commercials, appearing in major television projects, and navigating every level of the business - from non-union to union, self-submission to top-tier representation - Joshua realized something critical:
Most actors aren’t failing because they lack talent.They’re failing because no one ever explains how the system actually works.
So he built The Residual Actor to change that.
This program is not based on hypotheticals or outdated advice.It’s built from real sets, real contracts, real auditions, and real outcomes - earned over years of consistent work.
Being rejected
Being misinformed
Signing the wrong contracts
Learning the business the hard way
Paying over $100,000 in education, coaching, and industry experience
Joshua didn’t grow up with industry access, connections, or shortcuts. Everything he learned came from:
Being rejected
Being misinformed
Signing the wrong contracts
Learning the business the hard way
Paying over $100,000 in education, coaching, and industry experience

What finally changed everything wasn’t more acting classes.
It was understanding:
How casting actually makes decisions
How agents really work
How contracts protect or trap you
How to build income without burning out
That knowledge became the blueprint.

Joshua didn’t just apply this system to himself.
He used the same principles to guide his daughter into a successful acting career — including landing major roles like Millicent on Paramount+’s iCarly — without exploitation, shortcuts, or burnout.
That’s when the system stopped being personal… and became teachable.

WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT
The Residual Actor doesn’t teach you how to act better.It teaches you how to work smarter, book consistently, and stay sane in the process. There is no gatekeeping.No false promises. No motivation without instruction. Just clarity
This course exists because actors deserve transparency.
And because the difference between struggling and working is almost never talent — it’s information.
Learn the system that working actors use.
Become a Residual Actor.
