My interview with Scott Erwin was very memorable for a number of reasons, one of which was his inspiring message: “Anything’s possible with enough education and enough desire to do it…it’s just going to be a question of ‘at what level do I get to do it?’”. On this episode of the Second Act Actors podcast, Scott shares his story of being an accountant and business owner who lost it all and then discovered acting.
In the episode, we discuss everything from how Scott got into dancing to learning acting techniques later in life. Scott shares what surprised him about working in the entertainment industry and tells me a great story about how his accounting and acting careers overlapped in an unexpected way.
This episode is packed with practical advice for new actors, with insights from myself and Scott on how to overcome rejection and deal with feelings of being behind in your acting career. Listen out for Scott’s thoughts on method acting, which might help you if you also don’t enjoy staying in character in between takes!
