What makes you feel alive? While you may have expectations for what your life holds, pursuing adrenaline and excitement may require you to face your fears but in doing so the payoff will be much greater.

Phil Brandt is a former PAC12 collegiate football player, an All American wrestler, and a professional working actor. Phil’s journey is exactly why I created the Hollywood Dreammaker podcast and opened up the Manhattan Actor Studio, to help people pursue their dream of being a professional actor and that’s exactly what happened soon after Phil joined the Manhattan Actor Studio. Phil is now a professional actor and continues to score great jobs on different sets. “The Rock” and Vin Diesel better watch out because Phil Brandt is coming to town!

In this episode, Phil and I talk about how his dreams shifted from pursuing the NFL to being a professional actor, how he has developed as an actor since joining the Manhattan Actor Studio, and how he has become more self-aware throughout his acting journey. Phil isn’t afraid to be vulnerable about how acting continues to challenge him to face his fears and in turn, has led him to amazing opportunities working with A-listers.

Tune in to Episode 31 of Hollywood Dream Maker to learn about Phil’s momentum with his acting career and what his advice is for people who are where he was not that long ago - working up the courage to pursue their acting dreams.
