What does it really take to make it as an actor in Hollywood?
In this episode, I sit down with the incredibly talented Freya Adams, best known for her lead role in Advantageous and with credits on New Amsterdam, The Blacklist, and countless commercials.
Freya opens up about her path to building a career in Hollywood and the lessons she’s learned along the way.
Listen as we talk about:
- How Freya transitioned from playwriting to acting.
- Why treating auditions as a “numbers game” helped her break into the industry.
- The importance of building authentic relationships with casting directors, crew, and showrunners.
- How creating her own pilot reshaped her career and perspective on the business.
- Freya’s strategies for staying motivated, handling rejection, and keeping her craft sharp.
