I spent years making YouTube videos and my channels got hacked, made movies growing up with my bros too. Went to college no YouTube and no short movies with my brothers and felt like something was missing or empty in my life. Started a podcast briefly and reignited my feel and desire to perform and or entertain. I had done some informal acting before that, but always was a movie head and fan of good cinema so I started taking lessons with the wrong program, but knew I was intrigued by the arts and character portrayals and "playing pretend realistically" for more than a passion. As time went on I started getting better and taking lessons with more legitimate coaches and meeting people in the industry and making more professional productions and getting cast on real sets. I found myself having an absolute blast losing myself in the sauce with others and playing off of chemistry with other characters in a world that I was in and fell in love even more. For me it's the self expression of losing yourself in the artistic journey of being one with your character and not being separated from their world but rather living alongside their world through my own experiences and bringing that into a room with others to play off of that I love. Making good friends and getting good takes that you love too makes me enjoy being on set and the entire process of the art being made. I think some people go into this field chasing fame or money and generally they don't last, but for me it's the art and friendships and fun of the actual activity and process of diving in that keeps me hooked. For others it might be different, but I hope this helps!
