Jonathan Levi Phillips: Actor in London, Canada.

My name is Jonathan Phillips, I was born in Trenton, New Jersey, I grew up in Norman, Oklahoma, went to university in St. Catharines, Ontario, been living the past year in London, Ontario, and now I'm trying to find an apartment and a job in Buffalo, New York. I'm about to be more or less homeless, which will make it the second time in my life, I've been stranded more times than that, and have had absolutely no idea what to do or how to get through a situation more times than I can count. However, I always figure it out somehow, almost always by the grace of the most wonderful friends, and I come through it all a little stronger and a little wiser. It's tough - especially considering it could probably be fixed by compromising my dreams and settling into the grind - but that's what makes it an adventure. In the past year in particular, my friends have called me "ronin," "nomad," and "vagabond," and considering there's a very strong part of me that never grew out of wanting to be a heroic adventurous knight, I have to say: I rather like that mystique. Sure, trying to be a professional actor is a hard life, but it's also an interesting one!

Hi Jonathan. I'm RB, Founder and CEO of Stage 32. As a screenwriter, producer, actor and filmmaker, I know first-hand the challenges all creatives face finding work, landing representation, launching projects, securing funding and simply making the connections that will make a difference in their careers. That's why I created Stage 32. Since our launch in September of 2011, the community has grown to 400,000+ members representing every country on the planet making Stage 32 the social network uniquely populated with the most creative people on Earth.

This is a network for you, built by you. Like most things in life, the more you participate, the greater the rewards. We ask all new members to pay it forward by inviting 5 fellow creatives to the network and by spreading the word of Stage 32 through other social media sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. The more creatives, the stronger the network. The stronger the network, the more opportunities.

Thanks for joining the movement and for being a part of this most talented and inspiring community. I very much look forward to your contributions.

Thanks, and have a creative day!

RB
