This week Joy chats with Actor and Producer Arjay Smith!

With over 24 years as a professional actor, Arjay shares his journey through Hollywood. As a teenager Arjay was the lead of the popular Nickelodeon television show "The Journey of Allen Strange". He quickly realized that he had a different level of responsibility than other kids his age. Since then he's been a part of some of the most popular films and television shows including Sons of Anarchy, Perception and Day After Tomorrow.

In this episode we chat about how Arjay's faith has been an anchor and guiding point throughout his career, his memories of working with actor Tracy Morgan, and how marriage had helped him grow in his craft.
