Hello Stage 32 friends!!
Do you remember my first blog on how to become an actor in celebrity culture? In the blog, I stated you don't need to primarily be in Los Angeles but may think about acting, on one hand, and real estate, on the other, as a part of your financial stability in any part of the world. Read: https://www.stage32.com/blog/5-Tips-on-How-to-Regain-Control-of-Your-Act...
At the very least, we need a space to live and thrive right? Well, I just got my second artistic home endorsed by a celebrity in a Bollywood neighborhood while I got honoured as a celebrity scholar on CBC national news https://www.cbc.ca/news/entertainment/depp-heard-media-circus-1.6428583 voicing Johnny Depp in Hollywood - all in one week.
All this goes back to my art philosophy - art reflects life, so design your life in a way that happily shapes / reinforces your art, not just financially but also in terms of acting out authenticity and resilience in an actor's lifestyle.
So "act" with authenticity.
This authenticity is key to "you" becoming what kind of actor you want to see yourself as: traveling actor, feminist actor, ethical actor, diverse actor.....giving a voice to multiple characters like Jonny Depp once did and, hence, his calling for ethics.
The luck that struck me in one week was a result of hard work and blessings for many years. Huge thanks to Stage 32 for the inspiration to give a voice to all actors with strategic plans such as finance and real estate . Hopefully, I can serve to give a voice to many more actors and filmmakers in a challenging media landscape.

What a great reflection - thanks for sharing! I particularly enjoy "This authenticity is key to "you" becoming what kind of actor you want to see yourself as: traveling actor, feminist actor, ethical actor, diverse actor.....giving a voice to multiple characters like Jonny Depp once did and, hence, his calling for ethics."
It's true, who you are and how you conduct yourself definitely feeds into your work, as people will want to get to know you outside of the role.
