Ladies and gentlemen, I had the chance to get to know one of the
finest actor/model in NYC. Sid Curtis,
who is talented, ambitious, brave and with his look confident; Reading the
questions that were asked and the answers I hope you are inspired to continue
pursuing your PURPOSE. Remember to
continue to follow your dreams. LETS GO!!!!
How long have you been
acting and modeling? I have been acting since
I was 16, throughout high school with some breaks. I got back into it once I
graduated, but took a break when I first moved to New York and had a slow pace
of it. Modeling, it's been since I was 17. Randomly, I favor acting over modeling.
What made you want to
be in this industry? I've always been infatuated with the idea of working in a
creative environment. Reading and acting out scripts is always fun because I
get to portray something that isn't myself in an every day lifestyle. Same way
with music, but on the other hand with music, I'm telling a story.
How are you managing
when it is so competitive? I try to work as hard as I can, while I live in such a
busy and fast paced city. I try to meet as much as I can, and see what everything
has to offer. Just working hard. I feel that everything comes to you, if you're
actually working towards it
What projects are you working on now? I'm currently doing several
spontaneous modeling jobs, and independent film jobs. I'm also trying to start
up a music career. But, I just got back to New York from a couple months in Los
Angeles working on various projects from Levi's to Adidas to web shows.
If you could pick any
profession besides acting and modeling what would it be and why? If I had to choose
another profession it would definitely be a journalist. Something about sharing
thoughts and ideas on columns or blogs feels sincere and reassuring that I'm
not only crazy one thinking 24/7. Also, it's just nice to hear what others are
saying, same with sharing my own thoughts.
What advice do you
have for upcoming artists as yourself and what motivates you? Honesty, what
motivates me the most is my family and friends. And, living in a city like New
York. I've made so many choices on where I want to live, and once I found where
was "home" to me, I knew that I could get into high gear without any
future living changes. Just find where you feel most connected with, and stay
there with your art and grow it from that root. Also, watching cheesy behind
the scenes footage of concerts or TV/film production motivates me too. It makes
me think, "Wow, they really are real people. I could do that too."
