I was at a get together with friends and their families recently and came across this situation. Someone had brought up that I was in a recent commercial they had seen. Another remembered one they had seen out of state. A third said.."he's an actor???"
Yes! I am an actor so let me give you a few rules before you pass judgement and make a dumb comment.
#1 Yes! I have done commercials. (Over 1500 actually) You have probably seen me or turned the channel on one of my ads without even knowing it.
#2 I can do commercials and ads that aren't on TV...they are print ads, radio ads and training films. In fact, I have had a lot of fun doing training films. I got to play John Belushi, John Lovitz, the Godfather, clowns, animal trainers and hundreds more.
#3 Is there money in acting? Yes if you are dedicated enough and find the right opportunities through agents, managers and producers.
Mortgage lendors and banks see us as a risk, but there have been actors around longer than all the technical jobs ever created.
#4 You don't look like a movie star? No! But I fit the characters that a lot of ad agencies cast. I may not be blonde hair/blue eyed...but I usually get any part that calls for my look.
#5 Actors are flaky, are you crazy??? Yes! It comes with having to play all those characters. Not schizo, but close! LOL
