He clearly doesn't know what he's talking about. He's a loser. He's weak. He's stupid and weak. He has nothing to offer. He could be great if he desired it but he clearly doesn't. Maybe its in his biological programming.

'Don't ask them to make you feel okay, make THEM feel okay'. Sound advice from a sound man.

It’s a cutthroat industry for sure

"Five auditions a week, book none of them" - RELATE

Super seasoned veteran... Such wisdom, so many years in the acting and audition trenches.

Very good interview. I played poker for a living. It’s a lot of losing and having to be ok with it but that’s just money and questioning my skills. I can’t imagine feeling emotionally rejected, broke, and not knowing when that next gig might come. I honestly never really realized how much work acting is. How tough it can be and how much luck is involved. You gotta be a little crazy to be in that life. But I respect it.

Living in Los Angeles, he articulated this well. I moved here to become an actress, but if I'm gonna put my blood sweat and tears into something, I need security/ stability first.

learn computers or medical skill, do acting later on the side, many ways to make money that are easier with benefits too

This is me i need to support myself only friends would do that but the stigma when I do book something big but it’s like what does the industry expect me to do until then

Making that money for that amount of time as an actor is incredibly impressive. By any measure he is a success. To any young actors out there I believe the point of this to take away is that your definition of success has to be that of first financially based material success, just making an okay living from what you love doing and pursuing is enough. You don’t need 7 oscars and a name.

Amazing. Well put into words and feelings none the less . Bravo !

From where I’m standing... you were a success and didn’t even know it! I look forward to the day I book a Nachos or Vaseline Commercial! Oh! Happy Day!

Hollywood or refinery or warehouse...ur gonna deal with b.s., nepotism, jealousy, insecurity etc...its LIFE

Well said............. nothing more important than the voice of experience!! Wishing you well.......... best of luck.

This is wisdom anyone could benefit from, actor or not. And I wonder how much of his wisdom comes from BEING an actor?

I don't know what you're talking about. Cuz you're one of them bro.

I don't think he's telling the truth about his "fools gold" comment. For some reason I think he changed his mind about saying that originally. I think he meant that MOST actors/actresses never make a living in the business.

Trucking industry the same chasing it like fouls gold you described it perfectly my friend

Yes! Right on the head! Sooo true!

My Man Is Speaking The Truth

Been debating on moving to LA. But man it’s so expensive I’ll be working 24/7 to make ends meet at 1400 a month rent. With no experience I’d like to pursue it on the side. But should probably start in a smaller market obviously like Atlanta Chicago or Miami somewhere

he did very well, most actors barely survive, it's like Ranger school every day

I don't know why all of you are getting so excited. Its just another robot like you and me. There is nothing special about you Him or me. When you want something you will do whatever you have to do in order to get it. All of society is Hollywood. All the countries and the cities in the world are Hollywood. Nothing is real. This is a dream. A living nightmare. Use your fucking imagination which seems to be so lacking.

Gotta admire this guy, he's dedicated to the craft and can honestly claim the title of 'Professional Actor'.

Nothing useful here. Just basic common sense advice that every actor should know by now. Lesson learned is that you don't want to be actor. Be a film maker or director because they call the shots. Some directors star in their own movie instead of waiting for someone to cast them in a movie. Just remember that while you are using up your valuable youth trying to "make it" in Hollywood there are others busy investing in the stock market and real estate. In 20 years, chances are they will be retired because they made smart financial decisions while you are still struggling to get another acting job. Let that thought sink in.
