"Don't give up; it could be the very next audition that puts you on the map."Phillip Bruenn was in high school when he and a couple of friends signed up to do extra work on a pilot filmed in Wilmington, North Carolina, where he grew up. He had to play a guy enjoying himself during a rock concert scene, so he did. He got so into it that the production team noticed him, "this guy is really feeling it." Although he had never considered becoming an actor, the bug had already bitten him. A little time after he booked his first role, he auditioned and got accepted by the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, and that was it; he moved to Hollywood. He is most known for his roles in Studio City, The Outsider, and The Crazy Ones. He is also a tenacious and creative producer and a brilliant student at the Manhattan Actor Studio. In this episode, we learn about Phillip's first steps as a commercial actor, his tenacity (and cleverness) to get himself into castings he wasn't supposed to be in, and the handbook of how to prepare ourselves for the roles we want to land. He also talks about his experiences as a producer and the massive amount of doors it opened for him as an actor. In addition, he shares great advice for young producers; we discuss the importance of ignoring the noise, focusing on the acting classes and our instruments, and much more. Tune in to Episode 76 of Hollywood Dream Maker to hear about how tenacity and drive are just as important as talent. In This Episode, You Will Learn:About Phillip's decision to become an actor (2:18)Sneaking into castings 101 (9:12)Phillip's first steps as a producer (19:12)There are a lot of fakers in this town (28:09)Never give up, hone your craft, and prepare for the roles you want to land (37:55)You don't need to book acting jobs to showcase your talent (41:01)The handbook of the good producer (46:05)Notes about Phillip's future plans as a producer (58:37)Connect with Phillip:IMDbTikTokTwitterLet's Connect: Manhattan Actor Studio Website Hosted on Acast.
