Actor Growth

Okay, things have been busy for me and I guess that is a very good thing. One of my biggest highlight just the other day while working on set is that I met an actor that was also working on the same set I was. He seemed like he was being very nice to me and eventually started asking me about my background which I openly talked about.

He gave me a lot of advice in terms of his experiences in the industry and as well he has done directing before. The interesting thing was I of course asked him what projects he has been in as he definitely sounded like he has been to big places as an actor. Surprisingly he started to tell me he was on shows like 24 with reoccurring roles.

Okay, of course I immediately had a big reaction to that because as you all know I watch that show all the time. He was then telling me that he played a character named Eddie in season 2 of 24. Everything checks out. I was talking to the actor Douglas O’Keefe http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0641505/?c=1

I was kind of excited to try and learn as much from him as possible and he was nice enough to share it with me. It gets even more interesting. While talking I learned that he was trying to publish some film online but didn’t really know too much about it. During our conversations I blurted out on how I do things like web publishing to earn an income as obviously I am not at a point where my acting income can sustain my lifestyle lone.

This made him ecstatic as he was looking for a person just like me. After talking about it for a bit he asked for my number and he really wanted to meet up sometime to discuss about potentially creating projects together.

Wow, what a great opportunity I thought. I have no idea where this would lead to, but whatever direction it goes I’m sure it will be a great learning experience for my acting journey.
