ACTOR SERIES - It's Never Too Late To Follow Your Dreams with Brian Shoop

It's never too late to follow your dream...  In this episode, we are continuing our Actor Series with Brian Shoop whose career is proof that there is no single timeline for success.  Brian discovered his love of acting while raising a family and working in Tulsa, but it wasn’t until he was 47 that he finally decided to pursue acting full-time.   Since then, he has built a career spanning more than 50 credits, including The Rookie, Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon, Tulsa King, Severance, Poker Face, Reservation Dogs, Jesus Revolution, and Reagan - alongside an extensive theatre resumé! Today we dig into what it really takes to build a career outside the traditional timeline: making the leap to go all in, walking onto sets with some of the biggest names in the business, and continuing to train and grow along after establishing oneself.  Most importantly, we tackle the question so many actors wrestle with  “Am I too late?”  A huge thanks to our team: Producer: Devyn Arnold | Intro: Tamika Katon-Donegal Assistants: Ian Butter   _______   If you enjoy these conversations, subscribe to VersaVision and join a community that wants to understand this business from the people who know it best.  Each week, I sit down with leading casting directors, agents, managers, actors, filmmakers, and other indu99stry professionals for candid conversations about what it really takes to build and sustain a career in entertainment.  Their experiences, insights, and advice can help you make smarter choices, recognize new opportunities, and take the next step in your own career.  Subscribe, listen, and keep learning.
