How To Be A Star15.12.09

I wrote an article for my friend Sarah Sido’s site Brains of Minerva.  It’s my take on how actors can take more control of their careers.

Check out an excerpt…

HOW TO BE A STAR – PART ONE

Here’s the quick answer.

Make the switch in your head and decide you’re a star now!

Okay, once you finish rolling your eyes let me explain what I mean.

Working behind the camera for a while now, developing and creating my own projects, has changed my opinion about how actors should approach their careers.

I’m a big believer in being proactive and making things happen instead of handing the power over to someone else to decide the fate of your career.

Acting is a tough gig. You’re faced with challenge after challenge. First it’s finding good representation, then it’s getting casting people to see you, then it’s getting called in for an audition, then it’s trying to book that first small role, then it’s trying to get in for bigger roles…you get the idea. It’s an uphill battle, not for the faint of heart and on top of it all your fate seems to constantly be in the hands of someone else; an agent deciding whether to represent you, a casting director torn about bringing you in for a role, a producer or director unsure if they should hire you.

There’s no way to avoid the way the system works, it is what it is, but there is something you can do while you wait for those big breaks to come along…decide you’re a star now!

Okay so what does it mean to decide you’re a star?
