“I feel stuck. I know I should be further along.”

I hear this all the time. You’re putting in the work—self-tapes, classes, networking—but the career momentum just isn’t happening the way you imagined.

The industry has changed. What worked five years ago isn’t what’s working now.

That’s why I created the Think Bigger Actors Summit—a free virtual event designed to help actors get unstuck and move forward with real strategies from casting directors, agents, directors, and working actors.

Here’s what we’re talking about:

✔ How actors are landing real opportunities in 2025
✔ The shifts you need to make to stand out
✔ What’s working right now to book more auditions
If you’ve been feeling stuck, you don’t have to figure this out alone.

📅 March 10-12 | 100% Free | Virtual Event

Hey… should I color my beard? Or we feelin the salt and peppa?

🪑🪑

Got asked to send hair and make-up a current selfie.

And at first I was like “Gasp!” You don’t think I look like my professional well thought out headshots? The nerve! 😂

And then I thought, cool, cool, that tracks.

So, I set up my wrong light, put on a decent shirt and snapped a pic.

Be mindful of the photos you put out there of yourself. The “candid” ones are the ones that end up on trailer walls for your character.

There’s a “Getty Image” photo of me that seems to make all the walls…and I hate it. (Second shot is from the trailer wall)
