To make money in New York, you have to add gigs when starting out, so while I was acting quite a bit, I would do modeling.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I could count my modeling jobs on my hands and toes. When I graduated from college, I moved to New York specifically to study acting, and I needed to pay the bills, and it's better to make a couple thousand dollars in one day than to wait tables six days a week.
I began modeling in N.Y. and doing commercials. That led to regional theatre and then Broadway and then movies.
Acting is something I'm interested in, and I'll keep going to auditions, but modelling is my main job.
With acting, if I'm any good at it, my modeling career would never be a hindrance but would rather be a help. And if I'm not, then it doesn't really matter.
I went to the Professional Children's School in New York, and I started modeling because I could do that until I actually figured out what I wanted to do, and it gave me the opportunity to travel.
Because modeling is lucrative, I'm able to save up and be more particular about the acting roles I take.
Modeling was never anything that was a career choice. I did catalog work in Toronto to make money so that I could go to school.
If I wasn't modelling, I guess I would work in fashion as a buyer.
I was modeling since I was four and acting in commercials since I was five - this was when I was in New York. I then moved to LA when I was 16... but before that I had done a play on Broadway.
I also want to try acting - give it a shot - maybe take some lessons, I think that could be fun. I feel like that could even help me with modeling, because in a way you have to act.
