I was recently asked what my currency and cons are to the acting industry. It’s a nice way to asses the peculiar differentiators that set one apart from the sea of actors. I’ll be humble, I have a lot of potential, but I recognize my shortcomings and am working to minimize them.

  • Intentional theatrical training from top teachers
  • Single
  • Growing network of artists
  • Non-union status
  • Integrity for the craft
  • Technological prowess
  • Connections to benefactors in other industries
  • Location agnostic

Cons

  • No professional acting credits or experience
  • No musical training
  • No conservatory training
  • Few relationships with producers/writers/directors in industry
  • Challenging immigration situation for international work
