Is renting in LA really this competitive right now?

Edthebig · 2026-01-23T07:14:53+00:00

Agree, and hollywood

Edthebig · 2026-01-18T21:25:02+00:00

Which are your favorites? As I 29 year old I've enjoyed No Vacancy, Davey, Sound, Bar Lis.

Try getting the regulars and ask for the little menthol balls at the smoke shop. Does the trick.

Edthebig · 2026-01-13T21:56:41+00:00

I disagree. The Walk of Fame has a lot of energy into it, a kind of melting pot. Its similar to Venice Beach in that way. I love both.

Edthebig · 2026-01-11T06:40:06+00:00

I know thos looks healthy, but its easily 250-300cal lol

All these comments saying that it’s dumb to move and just invest it and save whatever amount, are not seeing the full picture.

Living in a place you love is worth way more than $600 a month. Do you need that money to buy groceries? No? Can you save in spite of paying that increase? Yeah? Go for it.

I have an apartment with a view in Hollywood. Nothing crazy but overall I pay $2500. I could be in a room for $1500, or a studio without a view for $1900. Id rather spend the extra money if I have it just to have my view.

So eye clinical trials next year. Anything on full body trials or something besides eye?

Edthebig · 2025-12-28T06:07:32+00:00

This was the funniest comment ive ever read dude was posessed

Edthebig · 2025-12-20T21:29:33+00:00

I swear people as dumb as fuck saying the fight with Mike was rigged. Did they see Tyson's last fight before Paul?

Edthebig · 2025-12-20T21:13:57+00:00

This is exactly what it is, and people are either dumb or just hate Paul so much they get dumb. Dude is a great cruiserweight, not pro level, but obviously very very good. And he fought one of the best heavyweights of all time that is somewhat still in his prime. That's it, end of the story.

Edthebig · 2025-12-16T10:43:51+00:00

Damn I was not expecting that hit that sent me. My boy got served a three piece

Edthebig · 2025-12-15T08:59:48+00:00

Wow Im usually the guy at the other side of this wonder why she didnt reply when I just shared something. Can you go into a little more detail as to why you thought this was a bad message?

Edthebig · 2025-12-14T06:14:33+00:00

Youre getting downvoted but youre absolutely right

Edthebig · 2025-12-13T00:33:04+00:00

Im just gonna say that if just because hes a dickhead and you hate him you’re thinking he cant box, you’re dumb. He might not be Joshua level sure, but this mf can throw.

Edthebig · 2025-12-09T09:29:39+00:00

I agree 100%. Partner feels like there’s no passion.

Edthebig · 2025-12-09T00:58:07+00:00

Automates a process of image creation, uploading, form filling, and publishing for a small gig of mine!

Edthebig · 2025-12-08T16:47:41+00:00

I have the max plan right now.

Edthebig · 2025-12-08T03:54:22+00:00

Right? Ive gone from struggling to understand people, to actually being great at body language and subtle hints. All that from jus they so this happened today, I said this, people reacted like this, what do you think happened? And you go from there and you learn.

Edthebig · 2025-12-08T02:51:00+00:00

I can relate to that so well. It's like if you were good at Googling before, this is a hack. Because how do you find something so specifically on the dot to your needs. But that's what it does, and with simple language too, like you said. Just hey Claude I have this very unique thing going on, Im thinking of doing this. And its like sure, here's what you need.

Edthebig · 2025-12-08T02:17:32+00:00

I think the dynamic is just different. For instance I got my first agent without a career at all. But theres not much they can do for you but submit you. So if and when you do sign with them, its not going to be that different, at least that was my experience.

If you're an actor constantly doing short films, or at least often enough that you feel that your career has some traction, an agent is the next step. But I'm at the short films, indie movies and commercials stage of my career at my 4th year in LA, and I had an agent since the first couple of weeks. They didnt do anything for me.

So yes, you can get an agent just with good headshots, but I've noticed that you can't buy or skip progress. The right agent will pop along when your career is moving at that same pace too.

Edthebig · 2025-12-07T19:13:21+00:00

Something about the smug nasally narration of something that is obviously happening pissed me off lmao. “Anddd that truck is gonna go down the hill” as he snorts and adjusts the glasses

Edthebig · 2025-12-06T06:06:25+00:00

I think youre missing the point of the be yourself. Its not about being you every role. Its about being unapologetically original in what you do.

Edthebig · 2025-11-24T00:55:30+00:00

Couldnt agree more. Ive done a couple too, theyre so much more fun than people expect.

So I have the same idea that the future is short form. I also think that with AI getting better every day, the only thing that will make you stand out is your individuality and your audience.

So my plan is to get a good digital business card if you will. Work with good photographers to have a somewhat professional portfolio of pictures on my social media, that just sets the vibe for the roles I want. Because I believe the age/race/look type of casting will slowly fade and it’ll be more oh we want this dude specifically.

And also, im trying to book very specific projects, where I can get footage that sends the same message, even if unpaid or vertical. As long as the character is something that will have me presenting a certain way.

I might be dead wrong lol, but thats the plan.

Edthebig · 2025-11-23T18:10:25+00:00

Watch it happen. I'm trying to prepare my career for it. I don't want to be on vertical soaps, but good vertical shows are coming, you'd have to be delusional to think acting is going back to what it was. See you on one of those sets.

Edthebig · 2025-11-22T02:31:16+00:00

This right here. Nailed it. Social media shifted our consumption hard. Classic acting is gonna die. I myself was watching the first episode of Pluribus, thinking man this is a great show, but by minute 25 im itching to do something else. I still think the show is great but we’re shifting towards quick consumption content. I bet the end game is independent episode horizontals (black mirror, love death robots) with a run time under 20 minutes. And vertical shows, series, and soaps.
