My guest on this episode of the Hometown to Hollywood podcast is Thomas Doherty. His hometown is Edinburgh, Scotland!
Thomas is best known for his work playing Harry Hook in Descendants 2, and Sean in The Lodge. His movie High Strung Free Dance will be out in 2018, and he’s about to begin production on Descendants 3 in Vancouver.
We delve into the more spiritual and philosophical side of being an actor, while discovering some seriously great stories (Thomas led a true double life for 4 years while he hid his passion for musical theatre, Billy-Elliot style). He shares his secret to both peace of mind and compelling acting (meditation) and finding happiness. Join us!
Some of my favorite quotes from this inspiring interview:
Both accounts are verified with the little blue checkmark.
Thomas makes it clear that a great deal of success in Hollywood-- or in life in general-- is due to your internal condition. You can understand all the basics of how to do something, but if you are missing a healthy mindset, you will never experience the joy you seek-- and probably not achieve your professional goals either. This echoes my experience too.
Sometimes a slightly different approach is all it takes to get some traction in this industry. If you need help geting your young actor's career off the ground, book a consultation with me over Skype or in LA. A single session can answer your questions, give you an action plan, and peace of mind.
