Friday Five (stolen first from [info]bigchicagobear

1. What do you do for a living?

I am a singer/actor in musical theatre currently doing a production of "Man of La Mancha" in the Seattle area.

2. What do you like most about your job?

The ability to move people through my singing and the ability to make a living at what I love to do more than anything else.

3. What do you like least about your job?

Nerves. But also, the constant search for work; the struggle between doing something for artistic reasons and taking a job because of income. It is hard to balance.

4. When you have a bad day at work it's usually because _____...

Another actor is not carrying his load, doesn't have the same level of commitment to the work. Ultimately, I can only be responsible for the quality of my own work, so I ignore what I can't control. However, don't do something that reflects negatively on my performance. I don't screw around and you will hear about it.

5. What other career(s) are you interested in?

I've been a newpaper writer and feature writer and enjoy it a lot. I have considered financial investment work as an option. I'd like to create a practice where I help actors, writers, musicians, the Gay and Lesbian community, Senior Citizens... communities that I think are underserved by the industry, to find financial stability and health...give them good, honest advice. Most of all though - I want to continue to do what I do. Sing!
