Attitude Is Everything, Failure Is Not An Option, Part II

A while back I wrote a post titled Attitude Is Everything, and I'd like to hand the ball off to Christopher Stadulis who I met during call backs for The Upside Down Mirror.

Christopher Stadulis epitomizes the beginning actor who "gets it," and who has the necesary winning attitude:

Rejection doesn't prevent me from moving forward, it only strengthens me as I feed off of it. I am passionate and dedicated about my craft and career. I don't believe in waiting for my BIG break, I believe in creating it! For me, success is not how much money I can make but how much of an affect I have on people when watching me perform. I have a responsibility in telling a good story. Having an audience connect, relate, feel the emotions I am experiencing as I take them on my journey, are very gratifying for me. To me, that is success. If I accomplish that, then I have done my job. In addition to being a Firefighter & Actor, I am a Father, Husband & caretaker for my disabled mother who suffers from Multiple Sclerosis. People always ask me how have I accomplished so much in being an Actor for only 3 years and having so much on my plate. I tell them it's about having a balance, staying focused, dedicated and very hungry towards becoming a TRUE Actor. I am a firm believer in doing something productive everyday towards my career, shaking as many hands as possible, always maintain a professional positive attitude and understand that this is a business. I am the CEO of my own business and should always showcase myself in the best possible light.
