Actor Growth

Maybe I’m nuts, but about three days ago during martial arts class the toe nail on my right foot got split in the middle and as a result it started bleeding. Funny thing is though, I didn’t even realize it till I got home. I did go to see the doctor and he mentioned that I should just leave it as it will take time to heal.

Then today I kind of re-aggravated it and it started to bleed a little again. Now I guess the wise thing to do would be to just stop doing anything and let it heal, but even the doctor said that it would take awhile. Especially when it comes to recreation like martial arts, it’s just that with an actor type of schedule I don’t know when I would be called again and sometimes I could be gone for days and weeks.

Hence, for things like this martial arts training my downtime can be while I’m on set as oppose to wasting time when I do have the opportunity to go. One thing is for sure, even as an actor I’m personally inclined to be one of those people who will ant to keep going if I can.

I always hate it in like fight scenes where when someone hits you accidentally they then break character to see if you are alright as oppose to continuing. It’s almost like they hit you for nothing as a result afterwards.
