My experience as a day player on Law & Order : SVU by Matt LoGuercio
All in all it was an amazing experience. From the professionalism of the casting directors, the crew and the staff to being part of one of TV’s top rated shows. I could get used to this! As for the shoot it happened so quickly it was one of those moments you wish would last forever. Of course I would go back, do they even have to ask?

I’m a professional and I expect my clients to behave like professionals. That means showing up on time for auditions and being completely prepared. I don’t want to hear excuses about your car or how you weren’t focused because you had a fight with your girlfriend. It’s not my problem. Just do your job.

Three Reasons You Must Be In An Acting Class Right Now
Every day, professional athletes practice the fundamentals of their sport. No matter how many millions of dollars and adoring fans they have, athletes absolutely must remain at the “top of the their game” in order to succeed. Acting is no different.
Mark Zimmerman: Actor, President of Actors Equity Association
I know how hard the life of an actor is when you’re first starting out, but remember to take care of you first. Try to put 10 percent of everything you make into some kind of saving/retirement fund. It requires discipline, but it can be done, and, believe me, you’ll thank yourself for it later. And for those of you lucky enough to get a Broadway show when you first get to New York, if you can put $10,000 into the 401(K) plan at the age of 20, and that money doubles in value every 7 ½ years, that $10,000 will be worth $500,000 by the time you’re 65. Ah, the beauty of compound interest.
