![Journey Of A Working Actor In Hollywood - Alex Sol [FULL INTERVIEW]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/8XOU5exc1PI/mqdefault.jpg)
"Five auditions a week, book none of them" - RELATE
Very well articulated by a man who clearly knows what he's talking about! Bravo!
He clearly doesn't know what he's talking about. He's a loser. He's weak. He's stupid and weak. He has nothing to offer. He could be great if he desired it but he clearly doesn't. Maybe its in his biological programming.
I've been Acting for over 25 years!! Depression is so difficult to overcome!! One day you're on Cloud 9.....next week depressed as HELL when the job's done and the phones not ringing or on SET so to say...but there's nothing I'd rather be..Frank Balazs jr
How is cinema field in US? DO you all goes to directors office regularly?
It’s a cutthroat industry for sure
'Don't ask them to make you feel okay, make THEM feel okay'. Sound advice from a sound man.
Super seasoned veteran... Such wisdom, so many years in the acting and audition trenches.
Very good interview. I played poker for a living. It’s a lot of losing and having to be ok with it but that’s just money and questioning my skills. I can’t imagine feeling emotionally rejected, broke, and not knowing when that next gig might come. I honestly never really realized how much work acting is. How tough it can be and how much luck is involved. You gotta be a little crazy to be in that life. But I respect it.
Living in Los Angeles, he articulated this well. I moved here to become an actress, but if I'm gonna put my blood sweat and tears into something, I need security/ stability first.
learn computers or medical skill, do acting later on the side, many ways to make money that are easier with benefits too
I’m with ya. It’s so expensive. It’s hard to make ends meet working 24/7 and pursue acting on side unless parents are paying your bills
and how is it now after a year?
This is me i need to support myself only friends would do that but the stigma when I do book something big but it’s like what does the industry expect me to do until then
Making that money for that amount of time as an actor is incredibly impressive. By any measure he is a success. To any young actors out there I believe the point of this to take away is that your definition of success has to be that of first financially based material success, just making an okay living from what you love doing and pursuing is enough. You don’t need 7 oscars and a name.
Hollywood or refinery or warehouse...ur gonna deal with b.s., nepotism, jealousy, insecurity etc...its LIFE
From where I’m standing... you were a success and didn’t even know it! I look forward to the day I book a Nachos or Vaseline Commercial! Oh! Happy Day!
Amazing. Well put into words and feelings none the less . Bravo !
This is wisdom anyone could benefit from, actor or not. And I wonder how much of his wisdom comes from BEING an actor?
I don't think he's telling the truth about his "fools gold" comment. For some reason I think he changed his mind about saying that originally. I think he meant that MOST actors/actresses never make a living in the business.
Well said............. nothing more important than the voice of experience!! Wishing you well.......... best of luck.
Common Stupidity and Moronic is more like it.
75k a year in LA is pretty much 20k everywhere else in the country.
Trucking industry the same chasing it like fouls gold you described it perfectly my friend
Puerfectly executed
You will be begging for work but then you will finally get some, not much,money! Actors I salute you
I don't know what you're talking about. Cuz you're one of them bro.
Yes! Right on the head! Sooo true!
My Man Is Speaking The Truth
Great interview. Thank you
Uh...NO. Not great Interview. Read Rasputin or Charles Manson. JUst don't be boring. Anything but boring.
wow much respect!!! very articulate.i really enjoyed this!
Darling you're stupid. That's why you enjoyed it.
Been debating on moving to LA. But man it’s so expensive I’ll be working 24/7 to make ends meet at 1400 a month rent. With no experience I’d like to pursue it on the side. But should probably start in a smaller market obviously like Atlanta Chicago or Miami somewhere
he did very well, most actors barely survive, it's like Ranger school every day
more kids need to see this
Why?
@@faisalalrubaye6505 So more kids will think twice about moving to LA to get into the entertainment industry.
very well said brother
I don't know why all of you are getting so excited. Its just another robot like you and me. There is nothing special about you Him or me. When you want something you will do whatever you have to do in order to get it. All of society is Hollywood. All the countries and the cities in the world are Hollywood. Nothing is real. This is a dream. A living nightmare. Use your fucking imagination which seems to be so lacking.
Gotta admire this guy, he's dedicated to the craft and can honestly claim the title of 'Professional Actor'.
We are All Professional Actors in this big fat fake Lie called society. Congratulations. You've finally arrived. Our lives are meaningless and nothing matters.
Josiah Burgess You good, bro?
Where are good places to go for beginner actors?
Get in a class
UA-cam is a great start, acting books, community theater, and acting classes
Reminds me of truck driving
💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
It sounds like a business
Who is this guy?
What’s wrong with being a commercial actor? The my dream
What about when you're starting out at 47?

Nothing useful here. Just basic common sense advice that every actor should know by now. Lesson learned is that you don't want to be actor. Be a film maker or director because they call the shots. Some directors star in their own movie instead of waiting for someone to cast them in a movie. Just remember that while you are using up your valuable youth trying to "make it" in Hollywood there are others busy investing in the stock market and real estate. In 20 years, chances are they will be retired because they made smart financial decisions while you are still struggling to get another acting job. Let that thought sink in.
Yes but what happens to the passion you have for acting?
Lmao are you aware that you can become an actor and invest in real estate and stock market at the same time?
Transgenders.
