I am asked almost daily by comedians in la after they meet me at a show for the first time and they look me up online by googling me such as IMDB or website or see my resume. They usually add me on Facebook or email me anf ask me how did u get all that acting work your always working on something? I say I moved here to act and create acting opportunities. I was already a Headlining comedian when I moved here from NY in 2004 so for almost the last 10 years in LA all I do is focus 24 hours a day on the acting writing and voice over from taking classes to watching plays to reading books to watching movies and TV learning the tone of shows to auditioning. That is the life I chose that is the life I live:) Actors if you really want to have Hollywood or agents and casting directors take u seriously u must sacrifice and focus 150 percent. You must get the right headshots first off then a reel get in all different kinds of acting classes take improv classes and slowly build your resume. Trust me it will happen it doesnt happen overnight. I am a comedian since 1991 but only became an actor since 1999 and in the last few years it just started really happening for me.I also now but didnt always surround myself with only actors entertainers that are as focused as me.Doing this makes me work even harder to learn from them as well as help others that are focused. I go on the road for stand up monthly but when in LA on weekdays I am focusing on the craft of Acting buy auditioning for TV,film or voiceovers.Best of luck my friends I hope this helps:) One last thing do not be seen before you are ready otherwise it takes a long time for Hollywood to forget the time they saw u when u werent ready. I am a Victim of this many years ago.
