entertainment industry coach question 592: What do I say when people ask who my favorite actor is? I have so many.

People who ask you this are trying to make conversation. It's not a quiz. There are no wrong answers. So say exactly what you just said, "I have so many." Tell them who and why. I'm sure you like different actors for different reasons. I like Ed Norton for completely different reasons than I like Adam Sandler. It makes for good conversation.

Now if they say "If you were going to be trapped on an island with an actor for the rest of your life who would you choose?" Then, my friend, you must choose... and choose wisely.

entertainment industry coach question 591:Things have changed so much in the last 10 years. How do I stay on top of it?

There was a little more to this question about how technology both for craft and networking are changing so quickly how does one know where to focus attention?

When it comes to buying equipment, it's all a gamble. Every time I buy a Mac they come out with a new update the next year. And yes, change is happening at a very quick pace and predicted to get quicker.

The way to stay on top of it, is to have mentors in high places. You want to be "in" with those who are "in the know."

You want to read all of the trades that have to do with your craft and stay on top of business trades as well to learn best practices and apply it our industry.
