A lot of kids think they can just go to Hollywood and become an actor or actress. It's not that easy. There are millions of kids who come out here wanting to act. So, you have to have a plan, and you have to stick with that plan, because it's not going to be easy by any means.

I'm used to being the big tough guy, the bodyguard type.

Don't depend on acting as your sole source of income. Work nights, so you can have your days off to attend auditions. Have something to fall back on. That's what my mother taught me, and it's critical in Hollywood.

When I get the chance, I'm at the theaters all the time, trying to check out the latest movies.

Know what you want to do, because if you don't know what you want to do, you'll get stuck.

Whatever God gave you, you have to work that to your best ability - especially out here in Hollywood, the land of beautiful people.
