Soo, I Read This Article...

Will I refuse bad language or sexually explicit scenes? Will I reject negative storylines or less than moral stories to act in? These are all questions I ask myself often.


So I read this article on Theactingroom.com - (for all those who are looking for great acting resources, theactingroom is a great blog!). It was called Staying True to Standards in the Acting World.

The article pretty much talked about being a Christian in the acting world and not only staying true to acting standards but to your own, and if that is a possibility. That is really interesting. I mean, when I am a successful performer, will I want to be known as the person who 'wont' do any 'cool' roles? I mean the real issue is who am I?
do I know my standards? And if I do know my standards am I willing to behold them? Even if it means lack of success in the acting world?


The article was great. It put into perspective the struggles faced by so called 'Christians' in the acting world. More often than not Christians bow under the pressure. They often trade in their standards for success. But it depends on your definition of success and where your heart lies.
As a Christian actor, am I trying to be rich and famous? Or am I trying to advance the kingdom of God? Will I find success when I strike my first major million-dollar movie deal? Or will I find my sucess when I win millions of souls for Christ? Just a thought.
