Just try to wait until like me,you are 29 before you find it. Peter Dinklage
I didn’t want a “day job”.
I was a actor.
I was a writer.
I was a Bennington graduate.
I had to get a day job.
I dusted pianos at piano store on Ludlow Street for 5 months.
I worked on the property of Shakespeare’s Scholar for a year pulling weeds and removing bees nests.
I packed the life that i knew with socks and a toothbrush into my backpack and i slept on couch.
After couch after couch after couch.
But i didn’t want to think about is where i would be tomorrow.
After 2 years of job and couch-surfing.
Finally i got a job. In application processing.
I hated that job and i clung to that job and i stayed for 6 years.
When I was 29.
I told myself the next acting job i get,no matter what pays.
I will from now on.
For better or Worse ,be a working actor.
Walking away from data processing.
I was terrified.
Ten years in a place without heat.
Six years at a job i felt stuck in.
Maybe i was afraid of change.
Are you?
But something good happened.
I got a low paying theater job in a play called “imperfect love”.
Which led to a film called “13 moons” with the same writer.
Which led to other roles.which led to other roles.
And i’ve worked as an actor ever since.
The moments that define you have already happen.
And they will already happen again.
You’ll find your rhythm or continue the one you have already found.
Just try not to wait until like me ,you’re 29 before you find it.
Some of us never find it ,but you will.
I promise you.
So please,don’t wait until they tell you you are ready.
The world might say you are not allow to yet.
I waited a long time out in the world ,before i gave myself permission to fail.
Please don’t even bother asking.
Don’t bother telling the world you are ready.
Show it.
Do it.
What did Backett say:
Ever try.
Ever failed.
No matter.
Try again.
Failed again.
Failed better.
The worlds is yours.
