Life Actor

Having grown up in Hollywood it seemed the logical choice to be an actor. Now, having lived as an actor and what I call a creative for most of my life, I realize there have been other choices. Many in fact. However I do not regret this choice. I have experienced many more things being an actor than if I had chosen another career. This has been enhanced for me because I also coach actors and singers and other creative types for over 20 years now. This is quite a treat. People are so interesting. Actors the most interesting of all. I find they are the most inquisitive, enlightened people I have ever met. It is quite a choice to live life as an Actor. Very different from other careers. It does require much dedication and attention to succeed in the business, and the journey is long. meaning there is no age limit. I recently read of a woman in Santa Monica that decided she would be an actor and she was 72 years old. Last I heard she was doing quite well. Some movies and some commercials. And isn't that what it is all about?
