- Hey, guys.
This video is going to be more of a vlog than
a regular-style video that you're used to on this channel.
The reason I'm making it is because I wanted it to be
completely one-on-one and I wanted to let you guys know
of some big things that are happening in my life.
So, I'm going to try to do as little cuts as possible
and just talk to you guys, and I apologize if it's long.
Two months ago, I lost my job.
Some of you might not know that, for those of you that are
subscribed to my vlog channel, you probably know that
'cause I did vlog on it and a lot of you saw it.
That was very, very hard for me because I spent 5 1/2 years
because I spent 5 1/2 years
in school to be an accountant
and I was in accounting for about three years,
in various job positions and then
I lost my job two months ago.
It was a time when I really felt like
I've never been more lost in my life.
Losing your job is a really awful thing and it happened
to me and I never thought it would.
I used that opportunity, I turned that negative into
a positive and said to myself,
"I'm going to pursue an acting career."
because my whole life,
people have been telling me I should have been an actor.
(laughs) 'Cause I'm kind of a goofball as you can kinda see.
I decided that I was going to use this opportunity
to turn this negative into a positive.
I did just that and I started contacting some
friends of mine, a guy named Jay that's a stand-up
comedian in Toronto, and a friend of mine named Christina,
who's an actor in Toronto, actress, actor,
I don't know what the proper term is.
But, anyways, those two people gave me a lot of interesting
and important information about how to become an actor.
My friend Jay, like I told you about, told me that I was
supposed to make a demo reel,
beef up my acting resume, which is nonexistent.
I don't have an acting resume.
And take an acting class if I can,
just to say I've done something.
Get headshots, which are pictures you can send in to talent
agencies and stuff, and just email everybody on this list.
Christina told me to go with hers,
so before I emailed anybody, I emailed hers,
which is one of the many places in Toronto.
Yesterday, I got an email from them saying
that they wanted to meet with me.
At that point, I thought, okay,
it said new talent registrations so I thought okay,
this will be just me going there and them looking at me,
making sure I'm not a freak show
and seeing if I'd be good on camera.
In the email that I originally sent to them,
I sent them a link to my YouTube channel.
When I met with them today,
and they signed me, which means
that as of today my dream of becoming an actor
is going to become a reality,
or is a reality, I guess.
The reason I'm making this video is to let you guys know
that I appreciate you and I appreciate you watching me.
Because of you watching me, I gained a bit of a following
on YouTube which was enough to make this talent agency
sign me without having any of that stuff that I mentioned.
No prior experience, no headshots, no resume, nothing.
Just me and my YouTube channel
and that was enough to sign me.
If you have a dream, pursue it because
you never know where it's going to go.
Don't ever let someone, you hear this a lot but
take it from me, don't ever let someone tell you
you can't do something.
And follow your heart, my god, follow your heart
because right now I'm just, I'm in absolute shock.
I never thought that I would be signed to a talent agency.
Especially this quickly and it's unbelievable.
I'm really excited to take my camera presence
somewhere other than YouTube.
I'm going to just start off as extras in Hollywood movies,
in TV shows and things like that.
Degrassi, you guys might be familiar with,
that's one of our clients at this place.
You could see me as an extra on Degrassi.
Drake started there so it's not that bad.
I work my way up from there and one day
I hope to be an actor in a movie and stuff.
I want to thank all of you, personally.
I wish I could thank each and every one of you individually,
but I wanted to thank you for, just for watching me and
That's it, subscribing to me, watching me every week.
I've been making videos for 2 1/2 years and I've been in,
sort of, a down place lately because
like I said, I'd been laid off, nothing was really happening
but I made something happen.
It's exciting to know that today is
the beginning of my acting career.
If you have something that you want to do,
a passion of yours, follow it wholeheartedly.
Because you never know where it's going to take you.
I still really don't know where this is going to take me but
to be signed to a talent agency, that's a pretty big deal.
I just wanted to say thanks to you guys.
Before I get emotional, (laughs) 'cause when I walked
into the parking lot today after they told me I was signed,
I actually burst into tears, to be honest with you.
Because it's like I'm finally making something happen.
And that's a big deal, so
before I get emotional I'm gonna let you guys go.
I hope you didn't mind that this was a different
kind of video but I legitimately wanted to say
thank you from the bottom of my heart,
to everyone that supports me.
I hope to do big things one day and if I ever do make it,
when I ever make it, I won't forget you guys.
I apologize if this video was really long,
but, yeah, I really needed to say it.
The lighting's really crappy, unfortunately,
'cause I just got home and it's like 5 o'clock at night,
so I apologize for that, too.
This had to be said and I wanted to
say thank you to you guys.
Today's a big day and it's the beginning of my acting career
so I'm excited to see where it goes and I want to
say thank you to you guys, so, thanks.
