Advice To Aspiring Performers: “You’ve got to have a passion for it and don’t be easily discouraged. And don’t approach it like, ‘I have to get this job.’ Go in and have fun. When I go out on auditions, I look at it like I’m getting to play. I have a good time while I’m there, and when it’s over, I forget about it.”
