Welcome to the Think Bigger Actors Podcast, I’m your host, DaJuan Johnson. And we are just moving right along with these podcasts. Today we have a special guest – Dennis Gonzalez, a manager w/ Varick Entertainment.  And I always love diving deep with managers and their thought process – because as actors…we tend to make up a lot of stuff. And sometimes that really works for us…

For example, We make up amazing characters that serve us well in our scenes. But, sometimes we make up what casting and reps are really thinking – and that doesn’t always work out too great. That’s why I wanted to make sure during my pursuit for success clues for us – we hear it directly from them. 

Dennis talks about Change transition and evolving in today’s industry. We also dive into Actor’s seeking outside validation and a new mindset around it. But, my favorite is the question he thinks you should ask yourself about this moment in our industry: is this something you’re willing to go through…to continue to persevere through.

Enjoy the episode and stick around for your D-12 shot where I bring it all together.
