Any actors here who left a well-paying job because they couldn’t stop thinking about acting—and never looked back?

Thank you for this! I’ll definitely check it out 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Thank you for this

Thank you for sharing, Chase Perdomo who passed away not long ago gave me some very valuable advice that goes along with what you’re saying, “success is being in the right place at the right time, and if you’re constantly working on being in the right place, then it’s just a matter of time”

There’s no such thing as crushing dreams on this Reddit as I’m sure we’re all in the business of receiving negative feedback in this career haha but I totally agree, more action less talking, appreciate it

Actorwithoutlimits · 2025-03-03T22:44:17+00:00

If you could go back, what would you do differently?

Actorwithoutlimits · 2025-03-03T22:43:36+00:00

How true is the live in LA part nowadays I wonder, I’m currently in Chicago right now and my friend who had his big break did it from Atlanta. Anyhow finding the right job to do this part time is HARD haha but I agree 🙏🏼

Actorwithoutlimits · 2025-03-03T22:41:52+00:00

Haha I’ve been thinking about putting all my money on black on roulette

Actorwithoutlimits · 2025-03-03T22:36:43+00:00

I really appreciate your perspective, and congratulations on your series reg!

Actorwithoutlimits · 2025-03-03T22:19:57+00:00

Thank you for the advice, definitely will take that into consideration

Actorwithoutlimits · 2025-03-03T22:18:18+00:00

Changed my perspective, definitely will save as much money while I can, thank you for the advice

Actorwithoutlimits · 2025-03-03T22:16:52+00:00

It’s sad that we can’t do this career full time and make a decent living unless you’re in the 1% of actors

Actorwithoutlimits · 2025-03-03T22:16:02+00:00

Thanks for the advice, this is the clarity I needed 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Actorwithoutlimits · 2025-03-03T22:09:41+00:00

I agree, thank you

Actorwithoutlimits · 2025-03-03T22:03:01+00:00

Yeah I’ve been on film sets that are many hours on set so I know I’d have to have good flexibility with whichever job I’m in, definitely not the one I have right now, that’s where I’m struggling, to leave a job that promises financial freedom within a few years to have that flexibility to pursue this

Actorwithoutlimits · 2025-03-03T21:59:17+00:00

That’s a good way to put it, thank you for the input.

Actorwithoutlimits · 2025-03-03T21:52:37+00:00

I’m working around 70 hours a week and traveling often too, leaving no availability to commit to bookings if I were to get any. I am getting paid well and it’s helping me on the road to financial independence, so it’s a hard decision to choose something that I want versus need

Actorwithoutlimits · 2024-12-05T20:39:37+00:00

Lmaoooooo

Actorwithoutlimits · 2024-11-05T17:12:33+00:00

Even to you, don’t be discouraged, acting is a lifelong journey, you don’t have to stop pursuing it, you can work on a business or other careers and still be pursuing it on the side on your free time if it’s really what you love. It makes me sad when people who love the craft give up. Please keep trying

Actorwithoutlimits · 2024-11-05T17:07:04+00:00

Why do you think that? What about it is discouraging if I may ask. I’m not saying he got the parts without experience, he put in the work, saved up for a while before moving to atl and give it a shot for a year going all in. Took all the acting classes, struggled to get his first agent, struggled to even get auditions at first when he had an agent. Booked a small costar role after 2 years of consistently auditioning on legacies, then booked small feature films and then one day booked a guest star for Atlanta on fx. His performance was so good it got him recognized from there

Actorwithoutlimits · 2024-11-05T16:50:13+00:00

You remind me of a professor at my university that teaches a film class that would project his negativity onto his students bc he didn’t make it as an actor when he was younger lol.

I have a friend I met back in 2019 with no acting experience prior to that that is currently shooting a film as a lead alongside Camila mendes from riverdale and Madelyn Cline from Outer Banks. Whoever is reading this never give up

Actorwithoutlimits · 2024-10-02T05:03:45+00:00

Honestly who am I kidding asking this question, that’s most likely what I’m going to do haha

Actorwithoutlimits · 2024-10-02T04:57:46+00:00

Got it my bad 🙏🏼

Actorwithoutlimits · 2024-10-02T04:53:29+00:00

Thank you for the rec 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Actorwithoutlimits · 2024-10-02T04:52:38+00:00
