I have been a full-time actor for 35 + years. Instead of viewing other actors as competitors, I like surrounding myself with other like minded talent who share information with others.
That is why I have created 245 + free acting and modeling quick tip videos. This allows me to take my industry experiences and share it with others.

Looking forward to meeting other Stage32 members who like the idea of sharing as well.
Quite a neat collection of videos, Aaron! Thank you for sharing, just watched a few of them.

Thank you for your kind words Sandeep. What types of projects do you find yourself writing? And what type of IT work are you currently doing?
You are so welcome Aaron. It was good to be able to say this right away. So often a magnum opus goes unthanked on the internet. I liked that your advice was very practical and doable, right at the starting line.
And yes, I do seem to have a theme in the stories I dream. Once again in the question itself your experience shows. Broadly, let's just say real life stories where good guys get to win, albeit there are themes that have been important to me navigating multiple cultures and many a heritage, in quite an upside down reality.
Given my circumstances, I chose to work on theory for nearly 17 years, determined not to create any commercial property until I can see justice and the ability to protect my work, and truth from what happened in the decade before.
In the last two years a few truths have seemed more important than that concern, and by now they have parsed into a trilogy, of which I am attempting the first one.
Acting concepts are important to me ever since I saw the light in a class I took just to entertain my niece a little better than I was managing while working with computers all day. Hollywood was way out of my league and another planet ... still is I guess. Still, here I am, hopefully not investing too much faith in truths, real and self-evident.
Re IT, well I've done practically everything north of fabricating silicon. From firmware, system software, kernels, processes, web, Excel : ) automation, software management and human resources workflows ... currently just rebooting.
This is awesome. Thank you for your amazing offerings! I agree wholeheartedly - the more we share the better it is for all of us. :-)
Thanks, Aaron - so helpful!
Thank you all for your kind words. So glad to hear you find my videos helpful. Sandeep, sounds like you have some amazing things happening. I want to wish you all the best with your project.
Lisann, congratulations on all of your tremendous success. Hope we get a chance to work together in the near future. It has been a while since I last worked in N.Y. My last two projects were a Netflix film that was shot in the Cleveland area. And, a few weeks ago I shot an episode of the new David Simon, HBO miniseries - We Own This City, in Baltimore. Do you get most of your auditions through an agent, or are you able to find work on your own?
Bill, doing stand-up seems like the scariest part of the industry. Congratulations on all that you have done. Is most of your work in the L.A. area?
Thanks, Aaron! Yes, standup is scary - like going off the high diving board as a kid! It's putting the raw ME up on stage, with nothing to hide behind! But I like challenging myself. I'm based in L.A. but currently have some projects I'm working on with collaboration partners on the East Coast and London.
That is incredible. Are these projects you are writing/producing or acting in? sounds exciting.
Writing, acting, and VO. I'm always open to new possibilities.
That is wonderful. Hope your projects happen. Where are the East Coast might you be working?
