Ok....I am just putting this out there in the Cosmos.
I am giving myself 2 years to "make it" as an actor...although I would be okay if came earlier than that.
It was a huge struggle for me personally to admit it's what I want to do. It still is. The hardest question to answer is "What do you do?" I always skirt the answer with "Hustle"...ha ha I laugh it off, but I don't think anyone knows how are the day to day is. No place to go...looking for work...filtering through so many "NO'S" and filling like life has past you by.
The reason I started acting is because it was all I had. Seriously...getting background acting work was and is the only thing calling me...I moved here to get into the music industry. That was my background, my education and my connections. But after hitting a wall for 2 years, I was even more desperate. So it started out as a response to a Craigslist ad for film here in Nashville. Made that, figured what the heck....my wife sat me down and said "Go For It!" but if you do...go 100%! So I had headshots made, started taking acting classes at night and email my acting resume for anything...I have been in music videos, short films, feature films..all as background acting...but I hope to get a role, even a day player, something with lines! To all those who laughed, and made fun...stick it!
So Dear Cosmos...here is what I want-
Constant and Steady acting work..
To be on Syfy
To be on a BBC Series
To be interviewed on The View (Whoopi has to be there!)
To take my wife to an Awards Show.
and if or when I win....I am thanking her first!
