Acceptance is the permission to move ahead… once again, an awesome read! I’ve only been in this industry for 7ish years. Have a cool credit or two to show for it, and get asked about those 2 roles at every family event (keep in mind, these were Co-star roles that involved a whopping 5 minutes of total screen time…). But I have absolutely ZERO financial pros to show for it either. At this point in my life, at my age (let’s say 18-25 incase agents are reading), I have taken your advice and pursued other careers as a “back up” plan. But to be honest, I almost look as acting as a hobby I can monetize 3-4 times a year if I’m lucky, and my “backup plan” is my main priority. Some nights, I think this mindset will destroy any possible chance of me starring in Never Back Down 5… but other nights, I think this mindset gives me freedom and a house over my head and a car that runs. Barely…. It’s an 08 okay? Cut me slack.
Ehhh, anyways. Love the posts dude! Till next week 🍻
That fat manager that took us to dinner and waited for me to reach for my wallet and said oh thank you….
Beside that great rules!!
❤️❤️❤️
