Go out there an act, no matter what they want to pay you",
My take on this business is expect nothing, accept everything.
With all the time and energy, blood sweat and disappointment, I feel that it has paid off for me. I have always been drawn to the art of acting, the development and dissection of a character and scene.
I take my craft seriously but not the business. For me it's been leads in independent films and supporting roles in the studio flicks,and I'm having fun. So far it's been a great ride.
