Ever wondered who manages all the props you see in movies and tv shows? All the bowls, cups, pencils, car keys, phones, and on and on? Well, that's a Property Master or, for short, props master.

- How Scott built a sustainable career, and how he continues to get jobs
- How unions work (Scott is a member of IATSE)
