by Ingrid R

“What is Hollywood anyway? Just a bunch of people from other places." From these words pronounced by Meryl Streep and addressed to the Golden Globes' crowd earlier this year stemmed the idea of ACTSIDERS.

Why did they decide to uproot themselves? What does it mean to be an outsider in this industry? From the audition room to the urban jungle struggle, what is their daily life like? Stories about choices, audacity, dreams, dedication and unconditional passion for the performing arts.Check out Actsiders' blog: http://bit.ly/2vr60HzA show hosted by Ingrid Raison.
