Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Marcus Nelson. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Marcus, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Can you open up about a risk you’ve taken – what it was like taking that risk, why you took the risk and how it turned out?

As an actor you take risk everyday. I would say mental and financial risk more than any other. We get auditions that can change our lives all the time and we sacrifice our friendships , relationships and money all the time. We move from different states thinking the opportunities could be better here , we quit our jobs ,we deal with uncertanty , we make choices realizing that we have only one life and we just hope we didn’t make the wrong decision. where in reality we have no idea if its going to work or not.Now that’s where certain things need to kick in.Endurance, faith and hope. But those alone are not going to do it. the most important thing is are you willing to learn. trust yourself to learn and you can adapt to any situation.the risk we take are detrimental, but if you can just discipline yourself to learn you can adjust to any risk and make the outcome more in your favor.

Marcus, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

I started in North Carolina . Moved down to Atlanta where I am now signed with smith young talent agency. I would say that has been the best decision of myeline moving down here and really getting my career rolling. I’m very excited for my future knowing I have made all the right moves and met the wonderful people I know up to this day. you guys will def be seeing my name a lot more.

What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?

I want to play a role so good one day that it will be very difficult for anyone to see that role played by anyone else.

For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?

the most rewarding aspect for me is the fact t that I can push myself and become a whole other person and be acknowledged for it. its not about the money for me its about the talent. I know I can do it I want to prove to myself I can do it in front of the world and feel comfortable telling another persons story.
