Veterans-to-Actors

I’ll make this short and sweet. I’m am extremely grateful for the 8 years I spent serving my country. If it weren’t for my father that served 26 years in the military, I don’t think I would’ve joined nor would I have picked up and carried as much self-discipline, structure and motivation that I now use today as an Actor. Don’t get me wrong, a lot of Actors I know that are not Veterans already possess one or more of those qualities. However, being as fierce and determined that you have to be in any of the Armed Forces, they are lessons that you continue to carry with you throughout your future. I use those highly in my career. You have to have tough skin in this business. So, why not you those military skills to your advantage??
