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

Morgan, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. It’s always helpful to hear about times when someone’s had to take a risk – how did they think through the decision, why did they take the risk, and what ended up happening. We’d love to hear about a risk you’ve taken.

Like most things that we will all come to realize in this life, many things involve risk. Everything has a balance to it, for example either you have a secure stable full time job but maybe that doesn’t make you happy, but at least all your material possessions are paid off, or you make less money but feel free in your passions and your pursuit of life and are blissful day to day.

For me what I was doing and where I was, wasn’t enough for me. I had to make a move out of state away from my home town, family, friends, love interests and onward to what I believed I was meant to do. No one else was going to change my life except for me and I knew I had to get going because there was plenty I wanted to do and I had already wasted enough time. I thought about waiting to move till the pandemic had died down, but I honestly didn’t feel it would subside anytime soon, come to be true, and took what little possessions I had and money saved and left. Sometimes a scary adventure is good, it makes you feel things you haven’t felt before.
Looking back I’m glad I took the risk, and even now I try to find as many ways to take a risk to open up my future as I can. You never lose, you either win or you get a lesson that helps you win the next time.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

I started acting in theatre high school, in High School, in Tampa FL. I was mainly doing lead and supporting roles during my time and was having a ton of fun. After high school I briefly turned my attention in College towards music engineering aiming for a BA in Recording Arts, but the universe had other plans when the recession hit in 2008-09 and put an end to that. It ended up being a blessing in disguise as it caused me to remember what else I was even more passionate about in life artistically, which was acting.

This time instead of theatre I set my sights on Film & TV, knowing full well that down the road I would return to my original love of the stage. Throughout the next decade I spent diving into the industry, eventually obtaining several agents & agencies, learning the do’s & don’ts, gaining on set experience, working with directors and behind the camera departments, but more importantly learning more about myself in the process.

Learning more about yourself, in my opinion, is one of if not the best quality any actor (or any human being for that matter) can do to become the best version of yourself to reach your full potential in whatever may be your passion in life.

Moving ahead I look forward to growing far more as an artist, learning more about my craft, about myself, and being a willful encouraging participant in the betterment of our world and the people and their stories within it.

What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?

The self discovery you will constantly be finding within yourself due to the thousands of different ways you’ll look at this world and it’s inhabitants.

Any insights you can share with us about how you built up your social media presence?

I will take this opportunity to address this question in the artistic realm in saying, that the answers and true satisfaction do not come from external sources and others opinions and how many likes, and follows, re-tweets and re-posts you get. You must be passionate to do the necessary self work in you as you test the waters in your field and are confident and sure enough to put it out there in the world.

Social media is not important, you do not and will not have control over it, what you will always have though is your internal fire and drive to press on.
