“You’re getting rejected far more than you’re getting hired… If you’re even getting an audition, you’re one of the lucky ones”. Unfortunately this is a reality for many if not most actors, so how do you keep going? On this episode of the Second Act Actors podcast, I talk to L.A.-based actor Galen Howard about breaking into acting, keeping a positive mindset and becoming a successful character actor. 

Galen tells me about how he built up the confidence to move to L.A. and pursue a career in acting, despite the uncertainty that the industry brings. We explore what his life has been like since he started acting professionally and how he came to embrace his status as a character actor. 

Listen out for Galen’s experiences on the set of two incredibly popular TV shows, The Book of Boba Fett and Brooklyn 99! Galen also shares some great insights into acting techniques and gives words of wisdom to keep you motivated when it feels like you’re not making headway in your acting career.
