Confessions of a utility actor

I'm not a star. I'm not even a "name." I'm just a workaday actor trying to make a living. And after 20 years of waiting for that big break, I'm ready to move on.

    Great read!

    I almost passed this one up. I'm glad I didn't. A close friend of mine took the leap by moving to L.A to take acting lessons and try her hand. After 6 months she moved back home. Not a biggie, she did a brave thing. Just like the writer of this article.

    Not everyone is cut out to chase their dream, and win the prize. But they at least are owed the chance to try. Good luck with your writing. You may very well be on to something else to make your name bigger. Very good.
