1:13
Lined up for y'all today
1:15
This episode, a very good friend
1:17
We met, uh, I think like a couple years ago
1:19
On an Apple commercial and then we got
1:21
Reconnected at the Actors Awards recently
1:23
That we had the private screening for
1:25
In San Francisco
1:27
Uh, after the help of the podcast
1:29
She was excited to be on it, so I'm excited for y'all right now
1:31
I got my good friend, actress, model
1:33
Miss Bailey Ann
1:35
In the building, y'all
1:37
What's going on, Bailey?
1:39
Thank you so much for having me, I'm so excited to be here
1:41
Yeah
1:45
Yeah, no, yeah, I'm excited to have you on the podcast
1:47
We got a lot of good things to talk about
1:49
Um, let's, first off
1:51
Before we dive into stuff, let's give people
1:53
An idea about, like, your background
1:55
How'd you get involved
1:57
In acting and modeling
1:59
And all this good stuff
2:01
Yeah, so, growing up
2:03
I was kind of always
2:05
The star of the show
2:07
You could say
2:09
Um, I was in dance and theater
2:11
Cheerleading, so I've always
2:13
Had, like, the personality to
2:15
Be on stage
2:17
And, like, be a performer
2:19
Um, my mom was a model
2:21
Back in the day
2:23
So, after she had kids
2:25
She would, like, dress me up a lot
2:27
Take photos, and so I was just, like, always
2:29
Around that kind of vibe
2:31
And then
2:33
Um, after college
2:35
I graduated and started
2:37
Teaching, and I was like, you know
2:39
I, like, have this
2:41
Passion inside me to
2:43
Do acting and modeling and stuff, but
2:45
I don't know if that's really
2:47
Obtainable with everything
2:49
But I just
2:51
Did a leap of faith and went for it
2:53
And, yeah
2:55
So, how did you
2:57
I know, like, you said
2:59
Yeah, I know you said, like, your mom
3:01
Did all that stuff, but you specifically
3:03
Do you remember, like, what your first
3:05
Your first acting job was?
3:07
Yes, um, it was actually
3:09
With my mom on Mother's Day
3:11
It was in San Francisco for
3:13
A tech commercial
3:15
On The Wharf
3:17
And they needed extra people, so
3:19
She just brought me, and I was like
3:21
Oh my gosh, you get paid to, like, be on set
3:23
And eat food and, like
3:25
Just hang out, like, this is amazing
3:27
Like, I'm gonna start doing this
3:29
So I got on Casting Network
3:31
And then started building
3:33
My page and just kind of
3:35
Picking up whatever here and there
3:39
Yeah, Casting Network, that's one of the
3:41
I guess that is the main site for anybody
3:43
Who is watching, that's the main site where
3:45
Creators go to to first start
3:47
Getting work. The one thing that I do love about Casting Network
3:49
Is that they
3:51
Offer a variety of
3:53
Work for you to kind of build up
3:55
Your resume, so
3:57
You can find background work for feature films
3:59
You can find lead roles for, like, short
4:01
Films, print work
4:03
Hand modeling work
4:05
When you first started
4:07
Diving into this world of acting and stuff like that
4:09
Where you just, did you kind of have, like
4:11
Your own specific thing, like, I'm just gonna
4:13
Search for movies, movies, movies are
4:15
Where you're like, let me just do everything
4:17
Basically
4:19
I started off with, like
4:21
Background roles, you know
4:23
Just, like, movie scenes
4:25
But mostly
4:27
UGC work, which is
4:29
User-generated content, so, like
4:31
Hair care commercials or skin
4:33
Care or just little things
4:35
That you, like, film at home
4:37
That's kind of where I started
4:39
Like, getting comfortable on camera
4:41
And, like, being, you know
4:43
Able to talk
4:45
And then I started applying
4:47
To more short film roles
4:49
Or, like, bigger parts, but
4:51
It just started out small
4:53
And just kind of, like, I don't know
4:55
Saw what was out there first
4:57
And so you said UGC
4:59
The user-generated content
5:01
That's kind of a new form of
5:03
I guess you say production work
5:05
That's coming up for actors
5:07
Can you kind of, I guess, go into detail about what
5:09
What that specifically is
5:11
UGC?
5:13
Yeah, so it's user-generated
5:15
Content, so basically
5:17
Different brands
5:19
Or companies will reach out
5:21
And ask you to, like, film a video
5:23
For their products
5:25
So I did one for Function of Beauty
5:27
Which is, like, a hair brand
5:29
And they send you all the
5:31
Products and they basically give you a script
5:33
To follow
5:35
And
5:37
I don't know, it's pretty easy money
5:39
It does take a lot of time because sometimes
5:41
They want, like, all these crazy shots
5:43
And you're like, okay, I'm just in my house
5:45
Yeah
5:47
But I recommend that for someone
5:49
That's not necessarily, like, an influencer
5:51
Or, you know, has a huge following
5:53
But just starting to
5:55
Get somewhere with it
5:57
Yeah
5:59
One thing I wanted to ask you about that, though
6:01
Is do you have to
6:03
Have a big following
6:05
To do, like, the
6:07
User-generated content work?
6:09
Um
6:11
I think
6:13
There's two ways to go about it
6:15
Not necessarily if you're, like,
6:17
Applying through, like, casting networks
6:19
Or backstage
6:21
They don't necessarily need you to have a following
6:23
But if you're trying to do it
6:25
Like on Instagram
6:27
And, like, kind of be an ambassador
6:29
You probably do
6:31
I, like, just
6:33
Started recently growing my
6:35
Instagram page and, like, putting
6:37
Myself out there and, like, building
6:39
A following
6:41
Because before I just didn't really care
6:43
But now I'm like, okay, wait
6:45
You have to kind of be in the game
6:47
In order to, like, grow
6:49
And succeed
6:51
So I'm like, okay, let's go
6:53
Yeah, alright
6:55
Let's get these follower counts up
6:57
Let's get it to this algorithm
6:59
Let's go
7:01
And then you said you did some
7:03
Background work as well?
7:05
Right, yeah
7:07
When I first started I did some, like
7:09
Holiday films
7:11
Christmas movies and stuff
7:13
Background, which was really fun
7:15
I got to meet a lot of
7:17
Cool people, obviously
7:19
Every time on set, it's so cool to
7:21
Meet friends
7:23
But then, like, the bigger actors
7:25
Are always in, you know, the movies
7:27
So it's fun to see, like
7:29
People that you watched on TV
7:31
When you were, like, 12 years old
7:33
And you're like, oh my gosh, we're on set together
7:35
Now, how cool
7:45
Uh-oh, I think I lost you for a second
7:51
Hold on one second
7:53
I'm going to pause it real quickly
7:55
Okay, cool
7:57
So you were talking about doing
7:59
Background work
8:01
Yes, so
8:03
I was involved in some
8:05
Christmas productions, like some
8:07
Hallmark kind of movies
8:09
California Christmas, City Lights
8:11
Is on Netflix, and then Holiday Harmony
8:13
I think is also on Netflix
8:15
But it was really cool
8:17
To meet, like, Brooke Shields
8:19
Was in one of the movies
8:21
And then Jeremy
8:23
I forget his last name
8:25
But he played Peter Pan
8:27
Oh
8:29
I was, like, so excited to meet him
8:31
I was like, Peter Pan!
8:35
So what do you take
8:37
Away from, like, you being an aspiring
8:39
Actress, you working in background
8:41
Being able to see, like how you say
8:43
Seeing actors that you see
8:45
On TV, movies that you
8:47
In your mind, you're like, man, I'd never meet these people
8:49
One day, and now all of a sudden you're working
8:51
On a movie set with them, and you're like, oh, wow
8:53
It's possible, what kind of things run through your mind
8:55
As far as, um, the
8:57
Possibilities of, like, where your career could go
8:59
When you're on these movie sets
9:01
Right, I think that
9:03
Whatever is for you
9:05
Is meant to be for you, and so
9:07
Like, whatever
9:09
You put yourself out
9:11
There to do, it's either
9:13
Gonna go your way, or
9:15
You're gonna, like, learn a lesson from it, so
9:17
I think being bold and confident
9:19
And, like,
9:21
Just trying everything
9:23
While you can is such an important
9:25
Thing in this industry
9:27
Um
9:29
I also
9:31
Think that it's really important
9:33
To be really kind to everyone
9:35
On set, because you never know who you're gonna
9:37
Meet, or, like, how that's gonna
9:39
Make a connection
9:41
Um, I feel like that
9:43
Kind of speaks for, like, our friendship
9:45
Like, when I first met you on set
9:47
I was just, like, nice
9:49
You know, like, we were just like, hey, how you doing?
9:51
You know, but I didn't know who you were
9:53
Or what your following was, or what you were
9:55
Doing, you know, I just thought
9:57
You know, maybe
9:59
It's his first time on set, like, who knows
10:01
So I think that's really cool
10:03
Um, networking and building
10:05
Connections in this industry
10:07
Um, and being on set
10:09
I think, for me
10:11
I'm kind of the person
10:13
To be very upfront, like, hi
10:15
What's your name? Who are you? You know
10:17
Um, so I think that
10:19
Helps, because it's kind of
10:21
Like an icebreaker, and then
10:23
You can make connections
10:25
Yeah, I think it was funny how you
10:27
Thought about, um
10:29
Oh, you never know, like, who
10:31
Somebody is, or anything like that
10:33
But, like, I think that's so ironic
10:35
About it, is that, me and you
10:37
Have met on the Apple commercial set, but
10:39
Me and your mom have probably worked on, like, a
10:41
Movie, maybe, like, just a couple months
10:43
Before that, so
10:45
It would've been a very
10:47
Interesting dynamic
10:49
If, like, I'm on set
10:51
With her, and she comes on, but they talk about
10:53
Buddy's such this funny actor, duh-duh-duh-duh-duh
10:55
And then all of a sudden, a couple months later
10:57
You're on a commercial set, and you came up
10:59
With the exact opposite experience, about, oh, Buddy's
11:01
An asshole, Buddy, like, this can't be the same
11:03
But that's why it's so important, like you say
11:05
To be kind to everybody
11:07
Because you never know who somebody is, you never know
11:09
Who somebody's gonna be
11:11
Right, yeah, just at that last
11:13
Go ahead
11:15
No, what were you saying, what were you saying?
11:17
Um, just at the SAG Awards
11:19
Show, um, I
11:21
Kind of just
11:23
Started a conversation with one
11:25
Of the hosts, and I was just like
11:27
Hey, like, how's your night going, you know, and then
11:29
He's like, hey, I'm writing this short film
11:31
Like, I want you to audition, and
11:33
It would just, like, instantly
11:35
Became this thing, and it was just like
11:37
Wow, you really don't
11:39
Know, and I tell that to everyone
11:41
Like, everyone who's on set
11:43
Or new actors, I'm always like
11:45
You never know who you're gonna meet, you never
11:47
Know, and then it finally
11:49
Happens, and you're like, okay
11:51
Mm-hmm
11:53
Let's take a deep dive into the
11:55
Actors Awards, your experience there
11:57
Watching it, uh, for anybody
11:59
Who's watching, doesn't know, the Actors Awards, it
12:01
Originally was called the SAG Actor Awards
12:03
But we just rebranded it
12:05
Called it the Actors Awards, which I
12:07
Think makes it cool now, because
12:09
Originally, every year we do
12:11
A live viewing for the
12:13
SAG Awards, and now the Actors Awards
12:15
But it's always been exclusively for
12:17
SAG actors, or if we wanted
12:19
To bring a guest, of course we'd bring a guest
12:21
But I think this was the first year where we
12:23
Opened it up to
12:25
Non-members to be able to
12:27
Come and watch the
12:29
Watch the awards ceremony, which I think is
12:31
Fitting, because now we called it the Actors Awards, so
12:33
All actors
12:35
Should be able to watch it, but
12:37
You being a non-unit actor
12:39
Watching
12:41
This, going on, and everything like that
12:43
What were you able to take away from being at the
12:45
The viewing party?
12:47
And the actual awards
12:49
I thought it was an amazing
12:51
Experience, I didn't really
12:53
Know what to expect going into it
12:55
Um, I've been to a few
12:57
Like meet and greets
12:59
For casting companies
13:01
And different events, so
13:03
I thought it would be a little bit
13:05
More low-key than it was, but
13:07
It was so fun, I thought it was beautiful
13:09
Um, I
13:11
Really loved seeing
13:13
The age range
13:15
With all the guests there
13:17
There's so many actors that are
13:19
Way older that are
13:21
Still going and still working
13:23
And I think that's really inspiring
13:25
Um, I had a hard
13:27
Time watching it
13:29
Because I was sitting in the
13:31
Very front, and so my neck was like
13:33
I don't know
13:35
Yeah, yeah
13:37
It was just like distorted, and I was like
13:39
Okay, but I thought it was
13:41
A really cool experience
13:43
Robert Chestnut is a friend
13:45
Of mine, so he invited
13:47
Me to it, which is really
13:49
Cool
13:51
And I got to bring my friend
13:53
Yeah, it was a really good experience
13:55
I love seeing like the new
13:57
Actors that are winning for the
13:59
First time, I'm like
14:01
That's going to be me someday
14:03
Who knows
14:05
Yeah, and Robert's a good person to know
14:07
Because anybody who doesn't know Robert Chestnut
14:09
He's our local SAG
14:11
After-President up here, so if there is
14:13
Somebody at SAG that you want to know
14:15
That's probably the best
14:17
Place to start, so
14:19
For him to invite you out there, yeah
14:21
It was definitely
14:23
Good to see you up there
14:25
Yeah, it was really great
14:27
It was at a club
14:29
Called
14:31
Club Origin
14:33
But even just the vibe of it
14:35
I think being in the club
14:37
Still kind of gave it that
14:39
It wasn't like we was watching
14:41
Sitting there watching award shows
14:43
It felt almost like a party
14:45
Slash networking mix, so there just happened to be
14:47
An award show going on
14:49
In the background of people who wanted to watch it
14:51
Could watch it, other than that
14:53
Finger foods and networking and talking
14:55
Yeah, I was up and down the stairs
14:57
And here and there and taking photos
14:59
And I got to
15:01
Connect with you and talk to you
15:03
And then just met some other comedians
15:05
And just
15:07
I don't know, it was fun
15:09
Did you go do
15:11
Karaoke, did you karaoke afterwards?
15:13
Yes
15:15
We went down to Japan
15:17
Well, we were in Japan, Don
15:19
But we went to, it was called Festa
15:21
And it's like
15:23
It's like a karaoke bar, it was so fun
15:25
My friend and I sing My Humps
15:27
By the Black Eyed Peas
15:29
And then I write a little country
15:31
For them
15:33
And sing some Shania Twain
15:35
Okay
15:37
You a karaoke queen?
15:39
I'm just a queen, but yes
15:41
Karaoke queen
15:43
All around
15:45
I like that answer
15:47
Just the queen of everything
15:49
What's your go-to karaoke song?
15:51
Usually
15:53
It's Fleetwood Mac
15:55
Dreams
15:57
But
15:59
It could be Alicia Keys
16:01
You never know
16:03
You do duets?
16:05
You do duets?
16:07
I've done some with like
16:09
What's that rapper song
16:11
And then Alicia's singing
16:13
It's like New York
16:15
Oh, okay, yeah, Empire State of Mind
16:17
Maybe that, maybe
16:19
That sounds about right
16:21
Nah, this ain't karaoke
16:23
Maybe
16:25
When we go karaoke, we'll do that one
16:27
See if that's the one that you're talking about
16:29
But not on the podcast
16:31
So
16:33
But then
16:35
You got a lot of exciting things that are going on
16:37
I guess we could say that
16:39
New chapter of your life going on
16:41
You just recently, I don't know if you want to put it out there like that
16:43
But decided to pursue this
16:45
This business
16:47
Full-time
16:49
You want to make this your full-time career path
16:51
What are some of the things that kind of
16:53
Led you down towards that decision making
16:57
I think that
16:59
Right now
17:01
I'm at a time in my life where
17:03
I'm still kind of young
17:05
I don't have a family and kids yet
17:07
You know, I'm in this like kind of prime age
17:09
And I feel very like grounded
17:11
And level-headed
17:13
And so I think now is the time
17:15
To just go for it
17:17
And if it doesn't work out, then there's always like a plan B
17:19
Or a backup plan
17:21
But you know, you can't make a shot
17:23
That you don't shoot
17:25
So like
17:27
Do it, you know
17:29
But I was teaching and I don't know
17:31
The days would go on and I'm like
17:33
You know, I really love this
17:35
But I'm doing this every day
17:37
It's the same routine
17:39
Enacting
17:41
Going to set, going to location
17:43
It's different every time
17:45
It's exciting
17:47
It's fun, it's spontaneous
17:49
And I think that's the kind of life
17:51
I want to live at the time
17:53
Right now
17:57
Is it just acting that you want to stick towards
17:59
Or you want to do modeling
18:01
Voice-over work
18:03
Do you sing? I know you do karaoke
18:05
But do you sing sing?
18:07
Or you just karaoke sing?
18:09
I sing sing
18:11
Like
18:13
Not like super publicly
18:15
I don't know, I'm not like
18:17
Just like singing on the street
18:19
But I do, yeah
18:21
Dancing as well
18:23
I feel like I'm more
18:25
Of a model right now
18:27
Than an actress
18:29
Well I do like commercial acting
18:31
But I really want to dive into film
18:33
This year
18:35
And like short films
18:37
Whatever
18:39
Vlogs, I really want to build characters
18:41
And like
18:43
Push myself
18:45
So I think that's my goal this year
18:47
But I also
18:49
I do many voices
18:51
I have a lot of personalities and characters
18:53
And stuff
18:55
So I think voice-over work could be like
18:57
In the mix at some point
18:59
I also want to start a podcast
19:01
And make a movie
19:03
Like I have so many ideas
19:05
They're just like
19:08
So where do you want to start off with?
19:10
I know you've been working on a couple of things
19:12
This past month
19:14
We were talking about before the podcast
19:16
You did like a jewelry commercial
19:18
Stuff with Stanford
19:20
And EA Sports
19:22
Can you talk to us about those projects?
19:24
Yeah
19:26
I guess we'll start off
19:28
With the Madden, the EA Sports
19:30
That was a fun
19:32
Little shoot
19:34
It was basically like a live audience
19:36
Member for
19:38
The Madden game
19:40
Video game
19:42
And there were some
19:44
Like old football players
19:46
Or I guess NFL players there
19:48
And I don't know, everyone was so hyped up
19:50
And I was just like, I don't know what's going on
19:52
But yeah, I'm getting paid
19:54
And
19:56
And then
19:58
The Stanford shoot was super fun
20:00
It was really small
20:02
I think they hired like five or six people
20:04
To be on that
20:06
And it was for their new business building
20:08
So I got to play student
20:10
And work with
20:12
A lot of my friends that I've met
20:14
Like Wyatt
20:16
And Rosie
20:18
And just some gals
20:20
Yeah
20:22
What else?
20:24
You did like a
20:26
Jewelry commercial as well
20:28
Yeah
20:30
I've been working with this company
20:32
They're based in Berkeley
20:34
And I worked with them
20:36
Last year for a fall shoot
20:38
And then they hit me up again and they're like
20:40
Hey, we're doing a spring shoot
20:42
Come back
20:44
So it's cool to work with people again like that
20:46
But catch me on their
20:48
Website
20:50
Front page
20:52
For sure
20:54
Front page model
20:56
I can dig it
20:58
So one question I had that just popped into my mind
21:00
You've been part of the union now
21:02
For going on like
21:04
Shoot like nine years I think
21:06
What's the climate like right now
21:08
For a non-union actor
21:10
Finding work
21:12
Especially the Bay Area
21:14
Because one of the things that being a union actor
21:16
Is like it's so hard for us to find work
21:18
Like when I go on casting networks
21:20
It's a whole bunch of non-union work
21:22
Non-union work
21:24
So what's it like for you as a
21:26
Non-union actor
21:28
To work in this business
21:30
Because I can imagine there's a lot of work that's
21:32
Coming your way
21:34
Yes
21:36
I agree that it's
21:38
Pretty hard to find
21:40
SAG work in
21:42
Like the Bay Area
21:44
I feel like a lot of the work is in LA
21:46
And like Southern California
21:48
So for me it is good
21:50
Because I feel like
21:52
I do get a lot of work
21:54
Just self-submitting
21:56
I feel like
21:58
There's a ton of things out there
22:00
A lot of like tech commercials
22:02
And stuff
22:04
But yeah my mom
22:06
Is in SAG as well
22:08
And so she's having the same
22:10
Kind of struggle
22:12
With that
22:14
Does she get you
22:16
Does she see you getting booked for work
22:18
And then it just be like
22:20
It just be feel like she like a party pooper
22:22
Like I'm missing out
22:24
I see like you remember that
22:26
Spongebob meme where like
22:28
Spongebob and Patrick are like running outside
22:30
And then you see Patrick just staring from outside the window
22:32
Just hating
22:34
That's kind of like
22:36
Us SAG actors up here we just be seeing y'all
22:38
Be outside having all this fun being on a movie set
22:40
So we be like damn
22:42
We just gotta wait
22:44
Yeah my mom is also like white
22:46
Very light skinned with
22:48
Blonde hair and so like
22:50
Sometimes I'll get booked for things
22:52
Because they don't want the white lady
22:54
You know like the blonde white lady
22:56
And then she's always like
23:00
Yeah
23:04
Damn it genetics
23:06
That's funny
23:08
And then yeah it's okay don't worry
23:10
She gets the privilege
23:12
It's all good don't worry
23:14
She's a queen regardless
23:16
Yeah
23:18
And then you saw about like LA work
23:20
She went did um
23:22
We just talked about this before like uh
23:24
Like as like a specific story
23:26
Stuff like that a specific job
23:28
That you remember you was talking about
23:30
Um uh LA job
23:32
Yes
23:34
Something that happened in LA was kind of like your big like
23:36
Wake up moment
23:38
Yeah it was one of them
23:40
Um so I got booked
23:42
For this LA job for
23:44
SoFi which is like a finance
23:46
Company and
23:48
The role said lead
23:50
Woman and so I was like oh my
23:52
Gosh I got the lead I'm going to
23:54
LA we're making it big
23:56
And when I got there
23:58
Um there were probably like 10
24:00
Other women that got booked on this
24:02
Commercial but I didn't know that I thought
24:04
I was the lead so I kind of went into it
24:06
Like a little bit like arrogant
24:08
Yeah yeah yeah
24:10
I found out like okay we're all
24:12
We're all here um
24:14
And it was really fun I met a lot of
24:16
People it was a great time
24:18
Um LA is crazy and like
24:20
Just the production
24:22
Itself was huge but then
24:24
Afterward a few months
24:26
Go by the commercial comes out
24:28
I'm like waiting to
24:30
See myself and it was like good footage
24:32
Like the camera was there you like
24:34
Signed the camera so it was very like
24:36
Faced
24:38
But I got cut from it and I was
24:40
Like damn like at
24:42
Least I got paid but like that's
24:44
How the business is you really never
24:46
Know and so stay
24:48
Humble because
24:50
Yeah
24:52
Yeah yeah I've learned
24:54
That lesson the hard way uh
24:56
Many a times I've been to times where like I've been to
24:58
A movie premiere I invite my family and friends
25:00
Out and then like
25:02
When the movie happens like when we show it in the movie
25:04
Don't know like my scene is in the movie that's no
25:06
Problem I made the cut in the movie
25:08
But then like once
25:10
They released it like onto DVD
25:12
I'm like okay now I can have like a big big
25:14
Release or whatever and bring all my friends
25:16
And they can have a big old house party and stuff like
25:18
That they ended up cutting my seat out of the
25:20
DVD out of the DVD
25:22
So now I'm over at like my big old house party
25:24
And I just thought like
25:26
I gotta go I can't be here
25:28
This is this is too embarrassing
25:32
Yeah yeah so
25:34
But no that's a that's a that's a big
25:36
Thing that everybody has to learn too that
25:38
I had to learn is that like
25:40
Like now I gotta I keep stuff like
25:42
Close to the chest to where if I
25:44
I wait till I
25:46
See the finished product
25:48
To even to even to talk about
25:50
Anything you know and even everybody else
25:52
Will be like you got anything going on you got anything going on
25:54
I'll be like nope nope nothing I don't
25:56
Know nothing but I just
25:58
Gotta wait I just gotta wait because yeah that's
26:00
That'd be embarrassing
26:02
That's the most embarrassing thing in the world
26:04
But I think it is really
26:06
Cool like
26:08
No even if you don't book the job
26:10
Like getting an audition is a big thing
26:12
A lot of people don't realize
26:14
That because there are thousands
26:16
Of submissions coming in for these
26:18
Roles you know there are like
26:20
Thousands of girls my age in the
26:22
Bay area that are applying and so just
26:24
Even getting an audition is like
26:26
Pretty cool
26:28
So keep keep
26:30
Good work
26:32
Just have the opportunity just have the opportunity
26:34
To pursue this just the fact that we know
26:36
Like what we know that what casting networks
26:38
Is you know the fact that we
26:40
We know we know the place to go if you want
26:42
To get work be on movies be on tv
26:44
Like we we know the pathway to
26:46
Do it we know how to
26:48
Find an agent we
26:50
Know basically how to turn our dreams
26:52
Into reality it's just about
26:54
Putting the putting the work in
26:56
To make it actually happen
26:58
So that's why I also
27:00
Wanted to applaud you too for for actually
27:02
Like you know pursuing your dreams going
27:04
At and say this is a good point in my life for me
27:06
To actually go out there and give
27:08
It that full 100% because you
27:10
Kind of need that you you got to be able
27:12
To go 100% but
27:14
Have that
27:16
Stability you know because this
27:18
Business is hard
27:20
Don't make it any harder I know
27:22
No reason to make it any harder you know
27:24
So as long as you get like you know
27:26
A
27:28
Strong family support
27:30
Now
27:32
I feel like that's the most important thing really is just
27:34
A strong family support strong belief in
27:36
Whatever your religion God is
27:38
Whoever it is that you pray to
27:40
Yes those are the two most important things
27:42
Just to keep you grounded and then everything else
27:44
Is like said it's in God's hands
27:46
And it's like whatever's for you is whatever's for
27:48
You because it is business there's so many opportunities
27:50
It's so easy to
27:52
To lose sight on them
27:54
So
27:56
Speaking of opportunities
27:58
The first opportunity we had got to met
28:00
Was at an Apple commercial
28:02
It was
28:04
I don't know how long ago was that
28:06
Two years ago?
28:08
Was it last year?
28:10
It'd be weird
28:12
It's crazy how fast time
28:14
We fly and go slow
28:16
But for anybody that
28:18
Knows we'll dive into like
28:20
Being like on an Apple
28:22
Like in the Apple headquarters
28:24
Working on it
28:26
We did it don't matter
28:28
It don't matter
28:30
We already got paid
28:32
That NDA don't matter
28:34
That NDA don't matter
28:36
But no just the opportunities because
28:38
You never know
28:40
Like who you're gonna run into
28:42
On a film set
28:44
Or what type of film set that it is
28:46
So like me and Bailey we had met
28:48
On an Apple commercial
28:50
And we was just doing
28:52
Well it's not even a commercial it was an industrial
28:54
That's what it was it was an industrial
28:56
And anybody that
28:58
Basically the industrial is just a commercial for whatever the company is
29:00
You know
29:02
And all that
29:04
Huh?
29:06
Internal right?
29:08
Yeah it's internal
29:10
Yeah yeah
29:12
So a lot of times
29:14
As actors we don't really get the opportunity
29:16
To see the finished product
29:18
Never
29:20
Never ever
29:22
You never know
29:24
What happens
29:26
You never know what happens but that's the thing that I think
29:28
That's so cool about working on industrials
29:30
Is because you can get the same experience
29:32
Working on a movie set that you do
29:34
As an industrial but it's just
29:36
Because it's so like
29:38
Tight-lipped that like
29:40
It's just stories that you can
29:42
Share so like for me and you
29:44
When we was working on the Apple commercial
29:48
The director of it
29:50
I forgot to look up his name but basically
29:52
The guy that was directing us
29:54
In the Apple commercial was the same guy
29:56
That directed the first
29:58
Deadpool movie
30:00
It was um
30:02
Tim Miller I think that's what his name was
30:04
Yeah Tim Miller
30:06
Tim Miller that's who he was
30:08
So just little things all like that you know
30:10
You wouldn't
30:12
You have that experience
30:14
Now you have that experience of saying that
30:16
I've worked I've been directed
30:18
By an A-list Hollywood
30:20
Movie director and guess what he gave
30:22
Me kudos you know he gave me
30:24
Props he said I did a good job
30:26
Those are just little things that as actors
30:28
Like on our level that we can kind of
30:30
Take away from and use that motivation for
30:32
Like the next project
30:34
That makes any sense
30:36
You know absolutely yeah
30:38
You're just building and growing off
30:40
Of everything and like
30:42
I think it's so important to
30:44
Take criticism and
30:46
Actually like
30:48
Really listen to what directors
30:50
Have to say or you know even your
30:52
Co-workers even your peers even
30:54
Other actors
30:56
Like I wouldn't take advice from
30:58
Someone that I wouldn't ask advice
31:00
From but
31:02
I think that the people in charge
31:04
Know what they're talking about so I think
31:06
Yeah yeah
31:08
This business is such a niche
31:10
Business that it's
31:12
It's so hard because I feel like
31:14
This is what the industry is that like
31:16
Everybody
31:18
Wants to be a part of the subcapacity
31:20
Or have some sort of knowledge on how
31:22
This business works so
31:24
When we have conversations with people
31:26
Who are not in the business they automatically
31:28
Just feel entitled to like want to give
31:30
Us information or give us advice
31:32
Oh if I was this I'd do it like this if I
31:34
Would do it like that
31:36
You kind of got to learn to
31:38
Like shut that off
31:40
Because it's like until you're
31:42
In in in these shoes
31:44
On this set you don't you have no idea
31:46
What it's like
31:48
So just having little opportunities
31:50
Like that I say like being on an
31:52
Apple commercial you
31:54
Now you're working with the
31:56
Director that's a Hollywood director or
31:58
When I was there last time I think
32:00
Warren Buffett was there and Warren Buffett
32:02
Just being able to sit next to like
32:04
One of the richest people in the world that he's just
32:06
This is how you be professional
32:08
And did it did it does all right let me I'll
32:10
Excuse from you, you know, so
32:12
Yeah, and and then
32:14
So that's what so that's what's really cool about it
32:16
But then also
32:18
Be like say with all the like the non-union
32:20
Work that's going on you're it's really
32:22
Great. It's really cool because you see
32:24
People elevate you're at
32:26
That point where you could see people growing I can
32:28
See you I can see you growing I see
32:30
There's like there's a reason why
32:32
I saw you at the actors awards
32:34
You know, it's because you're growing you're elevating
32:36
You're you're doing things to rise. So
32:38
That's a beautiful thing. I
32:40
Don't want like you
32:42
Or anybody at your level to take take for granted
32:44
Like seeing yourself
32:46
Grow and seeing other people grow with you in this
32:48
Business because it's a it's a beautiful thing to watch
32:50
Especially because how we were saying earlier
32:52
That you never know who somebody's
32:54
Gonna be well
32:56
You're watching you're watching these people grow into
32:58
Who they're going to be which is really
33:00
Cool extremely cool
33:02
I remember like following
33:04
You on Instagram and like this
33:06
Was you know last year or something
33:08
And kind of seeing your work here and there but
33:10
Then you totally took off too
33:12
And like I don't know all these
33:14
Videos coming out and I'm like
33:16
Who is this guy?
33:18
Yeah, he was talking
33:20
About wanting to smoke a blunt at the
33:22
Freaking table
33:28
You really never know
33:30
That's funny
33:32
I was ready to smoke
33:34
A piece of weed
33:40
I got a
33:42
I got a blunt in my car
33:44
To be a sad board member
33:46
In less than a year
33:50
Yeah
33:52
Oh man
33:54
Old buddy
33:56
I miss the old buddy
