Actor Growth

Yes, this is going to be a little odd I bet. Generally, in acting you usually portray your characters realistically by reflecting on your own life experiences. Example, if the scene is about a tragedy you usually reflect on a tragedy in your life to make it seem real.

Okay, so the thing is when it comes to my personal life I have never really been too active in trying to find the right women for me. As well, I guess I am one of those rare guys that doesn’t want to say go out with a hundred different women as I am definitely more about establishing one relationship and building great things together. I have never truly fell for anyone yet either to do this.

So here was the issue in relation to my acting career. Basically, the coach was saying how I definitely fall into a younger group category. So, when we think of young people what type of shows do we think of? My first response was “One of those Dawson’s Creek or 90210 shows”. Hence, relationships, soap operas, etc.

With that, he re-emphasized about the types of roles that I need to be prepared for. As you may all remember, he mentioned that romantic comedy stuff is my weakest category. Result, my coach was saying that I need to find someone as it is something I need to experience to truly understand and portray it. So now I not only have people like family members nagging me if I have found the right women but my acting coach too. lol.

I was just thinking…….errr……does that mean I am going to have to actually make an effort with this now such as making it a priority of sort to find the right girl? Who would have thought that having a more loyal and wanting to just find that one special person personality when it comes to relationships would be a factor in this profession?

So with that in mind, I made a commitment to be more pro-active in searching while being more open to say dating people despite my work life. I’m really not the type of person that is into things like the bar scenes either. So this will be interesting. And hey, if there is a matchmaker reading this contact me. Maybe that can be a speed catch-up way of seeing all the interesting things that people do to try and find “the one” too. Then I will truly see all of the romantic comedy sides of relationship building and searching.
