#14: Donny Boaz (Actor/Producer)

Casting directors, History Channel's "SIX" and Calvin Klein modelling. Donny Boaz and I had an #HonestConversation! Aside from discussing his definition of a good actor and what constitutes his version of "hustling" (he has some good tips, so actors: listen for them!), Donny and I talk about how brazen honesty isn't necessarily the path to the 'X factor.' In continuing my exploration of what distinguishes a creative in a saturated market, he identifies self-belief and inflated confidence (regardless of whether it's grounded in reality) as one crucial ingredient to the life of a successful actor. We also talk about the whether the old adage of luck being "preparation meets opportunity" is true, what it was like meeting Matthew McConaughey and which HBO actor played hardball with Alan Ball and won.
