    "Of the annoying things up-and-coming actors are forced to deal with—getting ghosted by directors and being asked if we’re on Broadway yet—few get under our skin quite like unsolicited career advice. Especially when that advice comes from otherwise...

    Can we talk about fame?

    Twitter is just ridiculous

    I’m from the UK and my newsfeed is always full of such desperation from actors or cringe manifesting posts. I’m not trying to sound negative but do you think posting stuff like this reflects badly on you as a professional?

    I'm going to be as honest as I can. I'm terrified about trying to make a go as an actor, because I have scoliosis and kyphosis. Both of which are mild, but I fear it will hurt my chances. I'm a stress eater and during covid/quarantine, I gained quite a lot of...
