This post got quite a reaction. So here’s a sobering reality of being an actor. About a year later I had to take a job at Blockbuster and I was stocking this movie on the shelves. Literally organizing DVD boxes with my face on them.
I got fired from my movie theatre usher job because I skipped a shift to go to an audition.
I booked one of the leading roles in a movie that then played at the theatre that fired me.
I do not recommend this strategy.
