Like other independent creatives, I wear many hats; and my main two are acting and writing. With acting, I’m typically cast as the antagonist or a father-figure, usually in the 45 to 55 age range. I love the challenge of taking on roles outside of my comfort zone. With writing, I’m a produced screenwriter and playwright, having also directed for both film and stage. I’m a member of the Dramatists Guild of America, and the Iowa Motion Picture Association.

I’m primarily an independent film actor. I stepped away from commercial and industrial acting to put my talent toward narrative short and feature films.

Use this section to get the parent/child taxonomies for a single post being viewed

The above pulls in each of the parents within the artist-discipline taxonomy , which is good, if I want to display them alone without their children.

I need to probably display these like this:

Dance: Ballroom, General, Hip Hop, Jazz.

Design: General, Graphic

Will need to figure out how to return the sub categories (artist-discipline) for each parent individually and then loop through all parents assigned to the CPT (artist) being viewed.

In this section I was able to successfully pull all sub categories that belongs to the 2 parents selected. This could be good if I was trying to show all possible choices under that parent, but what I really need is to pull just the selected ones back.
