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

Trevor, appreciate you joining us today. Can you talk to us about how you learned to do what you do?

I went and studied Theatre Arts in college. I was lucky enough to receive an athletic scholarship to play football, which helped further my dream. The overall training I received helped me set a great foundation for the future. I do wish I would have taken it more seriously at the time, but that’s life. Lessons learned and you keep going. Getting to know my classmates was essential, learning to trust them with different things during productions showed me that it takes a village for most things.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

My introduction into the industry started in high school, when someone dared me to enter a Shakespeare competition. I’ve always been a guy with big personality, so I couldn’t say no. That lead me to dive deep into acting, where I found common ground with pretending and having fun. My job is to portray a character, find their motivations, and draw from my own experiences to ground them into reality. That’s always the best part for me, because I have a vast past to draw from, some good and some bad. I took some time off (8 years) to work and support myself, but after my late sister’s passing, I decided to go for broke with my passion. I can be denied a role or gig, but no one can deny my future. It will come. All it takes is dedication and belief mixed with hard work.

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

I believe the biggest motivating factor is to win awards in my sister’s name and support my family doing what I love. She was the biggest supporter of my creative journey and I can’t see any other way to honor her.

Is there something you think non-creatives will struggle to understand about your journey as a creative? Maybe you can provide some insight – you never know who might benefit from the enlightenment.

Being a creative, it can be difficult to relate to others not in the space. We go to deep depths to fish out motivations, understandings, and purpose. I imagine it as an abstraction mind that pieces things together like a puzzle. It takes time to get to the proverbial finish line, but the time is worth it in the end.
