Ron Moseley: The Call Sheet, the Crew, and the Heartbeat of a Set

In this episode of Fish’s Call Sheet, Michael sits down with longtime friend, director, and assistant director Ron Moseley for an honest, hilarious, and deeply insightful conversation about the real work that keeps a television set moving.

Michael and Ron have known each other since the late eighties, crossing paths through some of television’s most memorable productions. Ron shares his journey through the industry, from A Different World to Roseanne, Grace Under Fire, Geena Davis Show, My Wife & Kids and his recent multi-year run on The Neighborhood. Along the way, he opens up about what it takes to organize a set, build a call sheet, lead a crew, solve problems under pressure, and create the kind of environment where people can do their best work.

Ron is an authentic straight shooter with incredible behind-the-scenes stories and a rare understanding of both the logistics and humanity of production. He talks about earning opportunities as a director, the discipline of being a great assistant director, and why leadership on set is about more than schedules, timing, and efficiency. It is about trust, communication, teamwork, family, and happiness.

Together, Michael and Ron reflect on their shared experiences with Cedric the Entertainer, Brett Butler, Roseanne, Damon Wayans, John Goodman and countless others, offering a warm and revealing look at the relationships, lessons, and unforgettable moments that shape a life in television.

Funny, grounded, wise, and full of heart, this episode celebrates the people who make sets work — and the kind of leadership that makes everyone better.
