From the Midwest to Hollywood

I was afraid that when I went home for the first time, I would not want to return to Los Angeles. “There are so many people I care about,” I thought, “and so many good relationships.” In contrast, I have arguably two good friends in Los Angeles and relatively few acquaintances.

Fortunately, my reaction to being with so many people I care about has had the opposite effect. Knowing that people I care about are here seems to act as a springboard. Internally, it readies me to tackle what I so wish to tackle out in LA.

So, I am gearing up: I just finished  the first of many books I hope to read to develop as an actor. This one was ACTING IN FILM, AN ACTOR’S PERSPECTIVE ON MOVIE MAKING, by Michael Caine. In addition, I am eager to begin my search for a commercial agent when I get back to LA; for whatever reason, taking a step back from LA has rekindled in me the sense that I just might make it out there in Hollywood.

I hope you are all well and enjoying life.

thanks for reading,
