‘The Comeback Trail’ with Robert De Niro and Zach Braff is a Dream Come True: Kate Katzman

It is a tough truth in movies that not everyone who works hard will necessarily make it. The myth of the starry-eyed young naif swept up the agent the minute they get off the bus because they’re “just what this jaded town needs” is just that. It’s a myth. Plenty put in years of training and hard work without getting “their shot.”

Kate Katzman has gotten hers, and she’s quite grateful for it. Hers is the kind of face you will see in bit parts for years before she shows up in a supporting role and lands squarely on your radar. It has taken a movie like The Comeback Trail for her to take that latest step.

To be sure, Katzman has worked very hard to get where she is. The Irish-American actress started out as a model in Miami but moved into acting when she took Burt Reynolds’ prestigious master classes in Jupiter, Florida. She has done several films, but none quite as high profile as this.

“Every actor dreams of working with other high profile, highly-esteemed actors,” says Katzman. “But in the end, all you want to do is good work. You want a unique script that pulls you in, makes you laugh, or uniquely touches you.”

The Comeback Trail – a remake of the 1982 comedy of the same name – sees Katzman starring alongside some very notable names in Hollywood: Robert DeNiro, Zach Braff, Tommy Lee Jones, Morgan Freeman. And it is certainly an irreverent story, in which two down and out producers cast an aging western star in the hopes that he’ll die and they can collect the insurance.

Katzman is, understandably, thrilled to be working with such a cast. And she’s excited to tell such a fun story. “Honestly, films like these are why you become an actor in the first place,” she says.

MiG Arogan: The Haitian Powerhouse Behind the Spiritual Anthem “Moon Under Me”

MiG Arogan has firmly established himself as a commanding force in the music industry, bringing the weight and depth of Haitian culture and spirituality into the spotlight with his powerful track “Moon Under Me.” This song is not simply a musical creation; it is a bold spiritual declaration and a vivid expression of ancestral strength rooted in Haitian Vodou tradition.

Hailing from Haiti, MiG Arogan combines contemporary rap energy with rich cultural symbolism, carving a unique space where music meets ritual. “Moon Under Me” stands as a testament to this fusion, drawing deeply from the Vodou pantheon of Lwa (spirits) to convey protection, power, and fearlessness.

The song’s hook centers around the presence of Mama performing the sacred work “with the moon under me,” a metaphor for hidden spiritual forces guiding and empowering the artist. Papa Legba, the revered gatekeeper of the spiritual crossroads, “opens doors I don’t see,” symbolizing MiG’s access to realms and protections invisible to others. This connection to Legba asserts a profound control over paths both physical and metaphysical.

Further spiritual guardians emerge in the lyrics: Kalfou, the fierce spirit of crossroads and chaos, “waiting at the edge with heat,” ready to defend or attack; Baron Samedi and Baron Kriminel, powerful death spirits who “laugh when your blood hit street,” representing MiG’s untouchable status backed by forces of life and death. These spirits signal that crossing MiG Arogan or disrespecting his heritage comes with grave consequences.

The song also invokes Erzuli, embodying love, beauty, and pride, along with Simbi, the wise serpent spirit guiding MiG’s style and movement. Ogou, the warrior spirit, tests and arms him, while Damballa offers calm wisdom and balance. The mention of Granne Brigitte, the fierce protector, and the other spirits completes a powerful spiritual armor surrounding the artist.

“Moon Under Me” goes beyond conventional music; MiG Arogan describes himself as “no rapper, I’m a ritual in boots,” emphasizing the song’s ceremonial and mystical weight. The imagery of candles, chants, incense, and spirits evokes authentic Vodou ceremonies that infuse the track with genuine ancestral energy.

By weaving these sacred names and symbols into his lyrics, MiG Arogan not only asserts his own power but elevates Haitian Vodou from misunderstood superstition to a living, respected tradition. His message is clear: “Play with Haitians — that’s the wrong belief.” It’s a warning and a proclamation — the strength of his roots and spiritual backing make him untouchable, commanding respect from all who hear his voice.

With “Moon Under Me,” MiG Arogan asserts a profound cultural and spiritual identity. His music becomes a vessel for ancestral power, a declaration that the Haitian spirit is fierce, unbreakable, and very much alive in him. This song stands as an anthem for strength, heritage, and the unstoppable force that MiG Arogan represents in today’s music and culture landscape.
