About this listen

In this episode of Acting On It, I sit down with Patrick—my former acting school classmate and now colleague—for the very first interview of the podcast.


We talk about what it means to pursue acting on a nontraditional timeline, navigating the industry when you don’t quite fit the mold, and finding belonging when you start later than most.

Patrick shares his experience of acting school, the discipline and hunger that carried him forward after graduation, and how staying grounded and consistent has helped him build momentum in his career.

This is an honest conversation about trusting your timing, showing up fully, and remembering that there’s no single “right” way into acting—or into any creative life.

If you’ve ever felt behind, out of place, or unsure if you started too late, this episode is for you.


New episodes featuring honest conversations with actors coming soon.

Follow Acting On It and take the next step in your creative journey.
