In this video, I share my personal journey of relaunching my acting career after a 16 year hiatus when I was 47 years old. I didn't have any current material for my showreel or any industry contacts, but I still managed to become a working actor. I break down exactly how I did it and also share some tips that I've learned along the way. Dreams have no expiration date - and there's space for anyone who wants to take it.
