Rocky Wagonhurst’s five-decade journey through the world of media is nothing short of extraordinary. He began in the 1970s as a Universal Studios tour guide and went on to appear on The Young and the Restless, star in national commercials, and play Laertes in a five-hour production of Hamlet.
He was also directed by Steven Spielberg in Minority Report alongside Tom Cruise and once soared 10,000 feet above Lake Tahoe in a glider with actor Cliff Robertson. His career has spanned radio, stage, and screen, ultimately leading him behind the camera as a seasoned television executive.
Currently, Rocky serves as Vice President and General Manager of The CW and My24 stations in Milwaukee, bringing his lifelong passion for storytelling and media innovation to local broadcasting.
Rocky will be talking on many topics; film, acting, television, AI, a career in the business and he will answer your questions!
