It's easy to get locked into a sense that everything has to happen RIGHT NOW. This destructive belief that an artistic life is a sprint. How can you work towards a career that defines grit, patience, and a love of the journey itself?  Can you look at your career as a marathon, a long and winding path that may lead you to a deeper appreciation of the creative struggle? Charlie addresses these questions, and shares his thoughts on the career of Oscar nominee Paul Raci and his breakout role at the age of 72 in the feature film Sound of Metal.  Charlie also talks SAG awards, recommends some books, and reflects on the work of Craig muMs Grant, Jessica Walter and Larry McMurtry.   You can follow CBP on Instagram @creatingbehavior, and Charlie's NYC acting conservatory, the Maggie Flanigan Studio @maggieflaniganstudio.
