Just want to highlight a terrific piece of advice for any actor:
http://www.backstage.com/advice-for-actors/secret-agent-man/advance-your-career-yourself/
If you read this blog you probably know that I produced my own play last year. The aftermath of that: I'm involved in three productions right now. A short film, a play in the NY International Fringe Festival, and a feature film. One of them is paying me a salary. One of them has the potential to put me on the map as an actor and a writer. ALL of them are giving me invaluable experience and improving my network of connections. I wouldn't be doing ANY of them had I not produced my play last year. Every single one of these opportunities sprung out of the work I did for my play.
Create your own work. It's the way the industry is moving these days.
