EP: 46: Vincent Salvador: Financial Crime Fighter & Actor
Manage episode 348020300 series 3323032
Vincent Salvador has had a pretty interesting life. He acted in plays in school but decided to study humanities at university. After graduation, he ended up working nights with an organisation combating financial crimes. During the day, he pursues his acting career, auditioning for roles and writing scripts.
Vinnie and I talked about his passion for acting and how by chance he came to work on an award-winning production. We discuss why learning to improvise improves your acting skills, which is something that Vinnie knows a lot about as his brain injury has impaired his ability to learn lines. We also compare notes on how our lives outside of acting have put us in contact with a much broader range of people and the wealth of experience that gives us to draw upon to build up well-rounded characters.
During the interview, Vinnie gives some inspiring advice about maintaining gratitude and how he tries to appreciate every moment that he spends on set. As he says, “If you don’t love the process, don’t do it!”
