‘The Office’ Alum Gives Sage Advice for Actors
Most of you know her as the wittiest, most adorable receptionist in TV history, Pam Beesly. Behind the character is Jenna Fischer, a hardworking self-made success who knows a thing or two about the struggle of a Hollywood actor. A while back, Jenna – co-star and alumna from majorly successful NBC show The Office – wrote a piece on her experience as an actor in LA, and her rise to success. We’re bringing it back because this sage advice for actors is some of the best we’ve heard. While many believe Fischer was an ‘overnight success’, she had actually lived in Los Angeles for 8 long, challenging years before she booked The Office. Years prior, she had barely booked any paid work as an actor and was just another competitor in the rat race — but as you may have heard from Harrison Ford, it took him a dozen years to become an ‘overnight sensation.’ His advice? Don’t give up. Those who make it are the ones who last.Read More

Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu: Hollywood Gamechangers
Whether or not big broadcast television is dying out is uncertain. What we DO know for sure is that the internet has changed the way we consume media. The “newspapers are dead! it’s all about the interwebs” day came and went, and now TV & Film studios are at a major crossroads. The entertainment industry has been shaken up by Online Streaming since digital networks busted through the front gates boasting A-List talent, hefty budgets, and innovative distribution methods (they are responding to the publics demands for immediacy!). Now that we have somewhere to go for all-you-can-watch selections for a reasonable monthly price, broadcast networks are having to shift their strategies to keep up with the innovative style of the new heroes in town.
