This week I sit down with Demmy Ladipo, a British actor known for his roles in "Dreaming Whilst Black," and the Netflix film "The Kitchen”. In this episode we talk about:
- Demmy’s journey, including his decision to drop out of university to pursue acting, highlights the importance of self-belief and confidence, especially for those who don't follow traditional career or training paths.
- Overcoming rejection and managing the emotional and financial challenges of auditioning.
- Strategies for handling the pressure and uncertainty inherent in a career in TV and film.
- Why he stopped creating Instagram skits and whether he plans to return to them in the future.
- Acting practices, the differences between theatre and film, and how to stand out in a competitive industry.
- How the entertainment industry can better showcase diverse stories.
- The responsibility of successful individuals to create opportunities for the next generation.
- + so much more
