"Oh, yikes, you're an actor...?"
TIME OUT! Let's take a TO and have a few morsels of sort of random conversation. There's more of a mini story in this one, about how I got amazing health insurance by being an actor... but more of a conversation about standing up for yourself, whether you're an actor, or whatever you are! People's looks and comments can be like daggers in your heart if you haven't had enough experience yet dealing with standing strong. However, NO ONE will take you seriously until YOU do first, and that can take years... particularly in a town like LA or NY that is LITTERED with actors and creatives reaching for goals. Some people who aren't committed do "ruin" it for those of us who do work hard and are disciplined. However, we can't wait around for people to take us seriously, because even when we are making money or have cold hard evidence of being an actor, they still might not.
Key takeaways:
- Stand up for yourself, no matter what.
- DO NOT wait for others to take you seriously.
- DO WHAT YOU WANT!
- Whatever profession you are, or want to be in, be disciplined, creative in your approach, determined and work hard and then just BE it. You are it, whether you're compensated or not.
- If you're someone who asks actors what they've been in as the first question, it's time to re-think that. Let's think even just a little more outside the box and get to know the person better on the inside, as opposed to judging them from superficial tendencies.
- YOU CAN EVEN GET GREAT HEALTH INSURANCE IF YOU'RE AN ACTOR!
- Sometimes life really shows up for you in the most unexpected ways.
