The Hollywood Hustler

Before walking into the room, whisper to yourself, “They need me more than I need them.” Yes, you do this even if it’s a commercial for hemorrhoid cream. #AuditionMindset

Every actor has two personalities: The one that says, “I’m focusing on my craft,” and the one that Googles “how much does The Rock make per movie.

Mad Max is the exception. The script, on paper, is remarkably sparse. But George Miller’s vision made the movie somewhat enjoyable.

My professional skills are less 'Swiss Army knife' and more 'duct tape'—a little messy, but somehow always gets the job done.

Carol Your Reel: "Sing your résumé as a Christmas carol at industry parties. ‘On the first day of casting, my agent gave to meeee, one callback for A24!’ 🎶 They'll never forget you. #ActorHacks #HollywoodSecrets

People change, bro. I used to pay for ringtones, now my phone has been on do not disturb for 6 years

Missed opportunity…I should have said “Super poster”

Great poster

Good morning every except De’Vondre Campbell

Pro Tip: We all know Hollywood runs on caffeine. Sponsor your barista: slip her some cash to pass out your résumé with lattes. Producers and filmmakers need their coffee too—networking, one espresso shot at a time! #Actors #ActingLife #HollywoodSecrets #Marketing

I got the joke!

By far my favorite GIF. Not even close.

Lesson learned from Gremlins: never gift someone a pet.

Kevin McCallister’s parents were pioneers. Forget helicopter parenting; they were trailblazers for the “figure it out yourself” school of thought.

Tim Allen’s The Santa Clause is the ultimate workplace horror story: Santa dies, and the North Pole crew doesn’t skip a beat. No mourning, no HR intervention—just “Congrats, you’re Santa, now here’s the suit.” #christmasmovie

Perfect location. Love Huntsville.

This platform has brought the fun back into social media once again.

Jaws is a Christmas movie because there’s snow… on the TV static in the beach house. If that doesn’t scream “holiday vibes,” what does? #christmasmovie #holidayspirit #movies

It’s basically Home Alone but with fewer tarantulas and more alibis

Should have told them we let him go back in 1970—turns out, no experience.

Networking hack: Always 'accidentally' spill coffee on a producer at events. It's the perfect icebreaker and statistically proven to leave a lasting impression—preferably on their lap. #Networking #Acting #Actors #HollywoodSecrets

Pro Tip: Your next headshot. Hold a dog. Nothing screams 'bookable' like an actor who clearly has responsibilities. #Casting #actors #actinglife #protip

Did his fake idea say “Dan Smith” on it?

Super Mario Party came out in 1998. I’m just gonna say it. “Told you so”

Bonus points if they’re loaded with secret "easter egg" you can only unlock by squinting at the screen 5 times.

Actors underestimate the power of showing up in a limo for their callback. #casting #actors #actingtips #hollywoodsecrets

I get mad. I want to get even. Then I remember I was born in the era when Steven Spielberg is making cinematic magic. #film #cinema #goodtimetobealive

Part Deux

Wondering why Kevin's parents were never investigated?

You're RIGHT!! 'I'll be back again someday'? Sounds like Frosty had some priors and knew he wasn’t getting away this time.
