Hey there, hero!

You’ve met people in our business who’ve been trained to say yes to everything.

When asked what they are best at, they never say never. They say yes to anything. They can play any role, voice any character, write in any genre…each with world class capabilities.

Yeah. Don’t be that guy.

But…are you being honest with others and yourself as to what you truly are capable of doing, or are you shorting yourself and “playing small” with your actual skill set?

Does a self-effacing tendency get in the way of being true to your talents? Let me know in the comments below.

Hey there, hero!

The people who aren’t in our line of work simply don't understand the kinds of numbers we face every day.

Actors, voice talent, casting, directors/producers...there are a lot of people who want to do what we do. And if those people knew the actual stats, most would likely rethink that desire.

And sometimes, we need to remind ourselves just what we're wading into when we want to play in the pool.

Let's look at these numbers...in the dozens, hundreds and even thousands.

Shocked, or not surprised by these numbers? Reminded, or not familiar? Let me know in the comments below.

Hey there, hero!

Deciding to pursue a performance related career also guarantees an immense amount of weirdness.

You can't even begin to predict what's going to happen, like you can in some more traditional lines of work.

In this episode, I reveal the strange cascade of events that resulted in me booking a multi-season run on NBC/BBC’s sci-fi series HEROES, playing the creepy, evil Puppetmaster, Eric Doyle.

I mean really, really strange.

Have there been strange twists in your career? Care to share? Let me know in the comments below.
