Career description

Success Definition

I would have early days that would almost always lead into late nights. Most actors start their days at 7:30 or earlier. I would be working almost everyday, reading and re-reading a script so I could memorize my lines to portray in the movie, tv show or commercial that I would be taking part in. At the end of the day I could go home and relax, just to do it all over again the next day.

SUCCESS: The act of achieving wealth, respect or fame.

Actors perform roles in motion picture, television, theatre and radio productions to entertain a variety of audiences. In some stage or film productions, actors sing, dance, or play a musical instrument. For some roles, an actor must learn a new skill, such as horseback riding or stage fighting.

Actors may also do voice over or narration work for animated features,

Video Games, or other forms of media and entertainment.

My definition: Having lived a life in which you have no regrets and can honestly say you are happy with what you have achieved.
