Saved By The Bell: The New Class

You looked at the title of the entry and wondered why I'd be posting about a kid's show from the 90s. Well, don't fret, I am, for another day or so, a neighbor of one of the stars. Jonathan Angel, who played Tommy De Luca in Saved By The Bell: The New Class, resides (I was going to say 'lives', but the man is alive so he lives wherever he is) in the apartment below me. In an effort to support himself he is taking a job in Sacramento, where he is from originally, and will be there by the time this blog is read by most. I will at this time admit that I will miss him.

I am starting a series of video interviews I am calling 'Actor Talk'. I, an actor, will interview another actor with the goal of providing other actors with little tidbits of knowledge and/or wisdom. I got the idea to interview Jonathan before he is completely moved out so I had to do it quickly. The rather impromptu interview can be watched by clicking here. This interview is obviously impromptu by the fact that one of our neighbors crashed the party. The interview was recorded gorilla style and it is unedited.

The bottom line Jonathan is making is that it takes a lot of work and dedication, no matter what the age of the actor is, to be successful in this wild and crazy industry. Everyone comes to the acting business from a different angle. Everyone has to do what they think is right for them to keep afloat and stay in the game. The 'game' doesn't have to be played all the time either. It is also alright to admit the 'game' is not for you. There are no rules. It's your life. All I have to say is live life to the fullest. You only get one chance...unless you believe in reincarnation.
