Our Expert

Tony Rossi is an actor.

Q: Any tips for dealing with stress about the state of the industry?

—Pam S.

The last time I was this stressed was when I was new to Chicago and had no clue how to be an actor. Fast-forward a decade, and I was in the best day job I’ve ever had, with access to auditions, and I’d landed my first lead role on a web series. Then came COVID-19. The job laid me off, CDs couldn’t cast me if they wanted to, and my web series was postponed. This is normally where I’d explain how things improved, but, unfortunately, that’s not yet the case.

But here’s the thing: If I went from where I was then to where I am today, that means I figured it out before—and I can figure it out again. In case you haven’t realized it, you’ll figure it out, too. If you’re not embracing the whole “things will get better” attitude, here are some tips to help.

Remember going to acting school and learning about script analysis and much more? I’m guessing you learned things you didn’t know before. We’re in a business where we have to deal with with constant rejection and comparison to our peers, but we’re not taught about our mental health, which means we lack some necessary tools. The pandemic is the same; no one taught us how to handle this. If you’re feeling extra stressed, start by going easy on yourself for feeling whatever comes up.

Also, if you’re an actor, that means you’re tough. You have a resilience others don’t necessarily have. You’ve done hard things before. You’ve figured them out. You’ll figure this out, too.

We live in an either-or type of world, so it’s natural if you jump to: “I have to be depressed or positive.” But what if we could acknowledge what’s going on and feel sad when we feel sad while accepting the good parts? Happy to have a break from auditions or your restaurant job? It’s allowed! It doesn’t mean you hate acting or wish ill upon the restaurant. You’re simply taking the good as well as the bad.

So focus on what’s in your control. Enjoy the good that comes with the bad, and remember that you’ve done hard things before. You’ll learn how to do them again and get through this.
