Find Your Niche

I talk about this a lot but I think it's worth repeating... you've got to find yourself in this business and in life. What are you GOOD at? Comedy? Drama? Don't say you can do it all because you will get cast in nothing. TELL casting people what you do, find the work in that arena, gain experience, THEN you can branch out. In my estimation, a jack of all trades and master of none rarely works in Hollywood. Here's a trick -- look at the stars you admire and look at the timeline of their work on IMDB. Find the pattern -- I guarantee you there is one -- and see how long they did a specific type of work and how they broke out. Mirror the greats to be great but forge a path that is uniquely true to YOU.
