ADVICE ON THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE ACTING INDUSTRY, BUT THAT NO-ONE WILL NECESSARILY TELL YOU. I WILL BE DOCUMENTING WHAT I LEARN ABOUT BEING A WORKING ACTOR AS I GO ALONG, SO THAT YOU CAN LEARN FROM MY MISTAKES/SUCCESSES AND AVOID SOME OF THE PITFALLS I MAY HAVE LANDED IN WITHOUT KNOWING BETTER. THIS IS NOT THE HOLY GRAIL - SO I WELCOME COMMENTS AND FEEDBACK THAT ARE HELPFUL TO THE NEW OR EVEN SEASONED ACTOR OUT THERE
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
You are not meant to walk up a small hill with little effort to look at an okay view of an okay city that a lot of others can see also.
You are meant to climb a mountain with little to no gear, have moments where you want to sleep in a cave for days, but you crawl out, get to the top of that mountain and when you do, the view will be mind blowing and it will be yours and only yours.
