“I’ve added it up and I’m probably a seventh act actor”, Stephen told me on this episode of the Second Act Actors podcast. Regardless of when or how you discovered acting, join me for this amazing conversation that traces Stephen’s journey from reporter to policeman to police cameraman to HR employee to career coach to actor.
Stephen and I compare notes on our experiences of starting a new career later in life, with Stephen sharing some great advice on how to define success when you’re an actor. He tells me how he stays motivated between jobs and breaks down his “holistic” approach to being an actor, where he puts himself out there but still takes care of the needs of his mind and body.
We also have a really interesting discussion about handling stress as an actor and Stephen shares some of his learnings on resilience from his time as a career coach. If you’re struggling with the lack of control that comes with acting, you’ll want to listen out for this bit!
This episode of the Second Act Actors podcast is a fantastic listen that you won’t want to miss. You can catch a load more episodes featuring other gifted actors pursuing their dreams when you subscribe to the podcast.
