On this episode of Second Act Actors, I introduce the lovely and talented Erin Zukowski who’s moved into acting from an office management job and is starting to gather momentum in this second act of her career.

Erin recounts her life story of growing up in Florida, losing her dad at a young age and then deciding to move to Chicago. She met her husband in Chicago and they always enjoyed watching theatre and improv shows, but Erin didn’t get involved with it herself until she eventually moved to L.A. She tells me what finally pushed her to start acting, how she balanced it around the demands of her job and how acting eventually won out over her day job.

We discuss how second act actors can get started on a path towards an acting career and why we should ‘pay it forward’, which is in contrast to the popular ‘veil of secrecy’ attitude over how actors get started in the industry. We also swap notes on the struggles of being an empath and how having a career before acting can help you to build up resilience and determination.
