There's this narrative that Asians can't be actors because it's a high risk field. Well in general, I think it is because from what I've heard, only a few are selected to be the chosen ones ascending to A-list level. But what I find extremely unhelpful is that everyone around me is against the idea. Unfortunately, I gr…

I am a local sag actor based in Boston. It feels like audition opportunities through Boston Casting are few and far between. Are they just super selective with who they call in / stick to a tight pool of favorites? In a smaller market like Boston, it can be discouraging when local actors don’t get the opportunity to au…

So I wondered about this… Do ya'll include a headshot thumbnail at the top of your actor resume with your contract info, or no? Or is it a matter of preference?

When you’re thinking about joining an acting class what things are you looking for? What makes you say “no thanks.” And what makes you say “these are my people?” Years ago, I was in a class with a well known teacher, and after about 2-3 months I started honestly looking at my acting and the acting I saw in class.

I miss acting! The creativity on it, improvisation, stage school, reading scripts, reading plays - all of it.

I think Jon Bernthal is an amazing actor. I know a lot of people say he gets typecast because he often plays the same kind of tough, damaged, intense characters.
